After Apple last week introduced the world to new M3 computer chips, M3 Pro and M3 Max, records from the first performance tests of Macs equipped with these chips are starting to appear on the Internet. And while the basic M3 and high-end M3 Max they held up very well, the chip M3 Pro se miniat least according to the first test published leakerby Vadim Yuryev Applu didn't do so well. It didn't improve much compared to its previous generation.
According to a record from Geekbench 6, the most widely used benchmark tool today, the chip recorded M3 Pro in the single-core test, it scored 3035 points and in the multi-core test, it scored 15 points. Compared to M2 Pro so the chip per core was accelerated by approximately 14%, whileoneThe multi-core processors only improved by 6% between generations, which seems like a completely negligible increase. However, we repeat that this is only the first test and it is therefore quite possible that, for example, due to poor optimization, it did not run to its full potential and the performance is therefore underestimated. On the other hand, Apple to significantly redesign the composition of the cores, which could have resulted in such a low intergenerational increase in multi-core performance. While M2 Pro consists of eight high-performance cores and four efficient cores, M3 Pro It consists of only six high-performance cores and six efficiency cores. It will be all the more interesting to see what further performance tests show.
