Just picked up my new 14” MacBook Pro M3 and ran some benchmarks comparing it to my 14” MacBook Pro M2 (both base models, specs below).
14” MacBook Pro with Apple M3 Pro
18GB Unified Memory
11-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU
512 GB SSD Storage
VS
14” MacBook Pro with Apple M2 Pro
16GB Unified Memory
10-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU
512 GB SSD Storage
Geekbench 6:
M3 Pro CPU Test: 14239 (Multi-Core), 3127 (Single-Core)
M2 Pro CPU Test: 12421 (Multi-Core), 2699 (Single-Core)
M3 Pro GPU Test (Metal): 68950
M2 Pro GPU Test (Metal): 74910
M3 Pro GPU Test (Open CL): 43023
M2 Pro GPU Test (OpenCL): 45804
Cinebench 2024:
M3 Pro CPU Test: 851 (Multi-Core), 138 (Single-Core)
M2 Pro CPU Test: 801 (Multi-Core), 121 (Single-Core)
M3 Pro GPU Test: 5528
M2 Pro GPU Test: 2876
GPU tests were a bit surprising (at lest Geekbench 6): M2 Pro was actually beating the M3 Pro in the Geekbench 6 GPU tests (ran it twice, no material change), while the M3 Pro was getting almost 2x the points over the M2 Pro in the Cinebench 2024 test.
PS: Color and charging cable in space black really are awesome!
PPS: I am new here, so hopefully this is useful and not a double post.
