Apple’s M3 3nm Chip beats M2 Pro by 12% in multi-core test

As Apple’s first 3nm chips, the M3 and A17 Bionic are expected to have outstanding performance and efficiency-related characteristics. The upcoming SoC that is expected to power portable Macs performs admirably in single-core and multi-core tests, outperforming the M2 Pro and M2 Max in a number of categories.

According to the data posted by Vadim Yuryev on Twitter, Geekbench 6, the M3 achieved single-core scores of 3,472 and multi-core results of 13,676.

The high-end 2023 MacBook Pro models will face a serious threat from the next-generation SoC, particularly in the single-core results of the same benchmark, assuming these results are accurate.

The M3 is only 6% slower than the 12-core M2 Max version in the multi-core scores below but 24% faster than the same silicon in the single-core scores. The M3 is 12 percent faster in multi-core workloads compared to the 10-core M2 Pro variant, and it maintains a similar advantage over the chipset in single-core workloads. Yuryev did not disclose the M3’s CPU core count, but a prior report stated that there would be a total of eight cores.

Now we must wait and see how effectively the upcoming 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air can regulate the M3’s temperature, but given that it is rumoured to be mass-produced using TSMC’s effective 3nm process, we should anticipate respectable outcomes. However, we must return to reality and warn readers that Yuryev has not provided any screenshots from Geekbench 6, so we are unable to confirm these figures.

The same person shared some performance data from a prototype A17 Bionic chip, claiming that the A17 Bionic was 43 percent faster than the A16 Bionic in multi-core Geekbench 6 results. The rumour was promptly disproved and declared to be untrue. Now that Yuryev has shared some impressive M3 numbers, we should treat them responsibly—at least until we see similar results from commercially available units.
