We’re just days from Apple’s new M3-powered MacBook Pro and iMac computers being delivered to early adopters. While the company has given us some ballpark estimates on how much more powerful the M3 family is over its M2 predecessor, we now have a handful of benchmarks to demonstrate the real-world performance.
Before we get into that, a short recap. At its ‘Scary Fast’ event, Apple said for the 8-core CPU on the basic M3 chip, you could expect 35% faster performance than M1 and 20% faster than M2.
