alt Hacker NewsOof, I was already considering an upgrade from the M1 but was hoping I couldn't be convinced to go for the top of the line. Is the performance jump from the M# -> M# Max chips that substantial?

From m1? Yes, absolutely. M3 is marginal now but m5 will probably make it definite.
The main jump is from anything to M5; not because it's simply the latest but because it has matmul instructions similar to a CUDA GPU which fixes the slow prompt processing on all previous generation Apple Silicon chips.
