Less than 24 hours after Apple unveiled its brand-new M3 MacBook Air, leaked benchmarks have revealed its substantial increase in power and performance over the M2 model.
On Monday, Apple unveiled the new M3 Macbook Air, which the company says is “up to 60 percent faster” than one of the best MacBooks of all time, the M1 MacBook Air, and up to 13 times faster than the fastest Intel-powered MacBook Air. Aside from the chip, there are almost no differences to the M2 MacBook Air, which Apple has retained as a cheaper alternative in its lineup. Given M3 and M2 are much closer together in terms of performance, Apple didn’t provide any comparison figures with the M2 model. Thankfully, we have some early benchmarks to do the job for us instead.
