Leaked Macbook Air M3 benchmarks show a 20% increase over M2 — is it worth upgrading?

Apple MacBook Air M3 (2024).

Just a day after Apple announced the upcoming Macbook Air M3 laptops, Geekbench 6.2 scores have already leaked. While the M3 chipset was already been given the Geekbench treatment back in October on the Macbook Pro line, these are the first scores for the new Macbook Air laptops. The laptops will launch this Friday, but have already made their way into the hands of reviewers.

Geekbench 6 is a multiplatform CPU performance test that measures a processor's single-core and multi-core power using a variety of real-world tasks. Geekbench 6 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 2500 (which is the score of an Intel Core i7-12700).
