After Apple revealed the M3 chip and a variety of M3-powered Mac devices during its 'Scary Fast' event, including two MacBook Pro models and the iMac, the obvious question was how much more powerful is the M3 than the M2?
Apple said during its keynote that M3 silicon is about 20% faster than the M2 and, according to a new report from BGR, that number seems to hold up thanks to recently leaked benchmark results. Geekbench test results show that the base M3 chip has a single-core score of around 3,000 while the multi-core score is roughly 11,700. Compare that to the M2, which netted scores of 2,570 and 9,600 for single-core and multi-core, respectively.
