Apple MacBook Pro 14 M3 Pro wins on CPU performance tier with its 11-core M3 Pro (5 P-cores, 6 E-cores) versus the Galaxy Book6 Pro’s 16-core Ultra 7 356H, and its 14-core GPU outperforms Intel’s Xe3 iGPU in sustained workloads; the MacBook is fanless under light loads, while the Samsung runs its 30W PL1 cooler under load. Choose the MacBook for video editors needing 24GB RAM and 512GB SSD with macOS-native Final Cut Pro optimization and 18+ hours of battery life.
