From Apple’s slides: M3 = 35% faster CPU than M1; 20% faster than M2 M3 Pro = 20% faster CPU than M1 Pro; ??% faster than M2 Pro - No comparison shown, I wonder why? M3 Max = 80% faster than M1 Max; 50% faster than M2 Max When Apple announced the M2 Pro they claimed it was 20% faster than M1 Pro. So are we to assume M3 Pro has no performance improvement this gen? They’ve reduced the number of performance cores from eight to six, and memory bandwidth at 150GB/sec is lower than the 200GB/sec of the M1 Pro.
