The person who posted this thread is terribly irresponsible as it shows a binned M2 there. He noted the mistake deep inside the thread and chose not to update with the correct conclusion that the performance between M3 Pro and M2 Pro is the same.
Right. Saw that. I’m coming from an M1 Pro and from looking at that site’s comparison it looks like a decent upgrade from to the m3 pro, maybe not from an m2 pro.

I don’t really do any video editing or anything. The only taxing thing I do really is BG3.
Apple M3 Pro vs M1 Pro: performance comparison
We compared Apple M3 Pro (4.05 GHz) against M1 Pro (3.2 GHz) in games and benchmarks. Find out which CPU has better performance.

It seems to me this is the right comparison here? While the results are not mind blowing, they do seem respectable.

Apple M3 Pro vs M2 Pro: performance comparison
We compared 12-core Apple M3 Pro (4.05 GHz) against M2 Pro (3.5 GHz) in games and benchmarks. Find out which CPU has better performance.

That is the binned M2 pro too. The multi-core performance are identical on both M2 pro and M3 pro.

-6% both 12 cores.
The M3 Pro is slower.

You do realize there are multiple M3 pros? Look at the ones available to 14 inch. For instance, there is one with only 14 GPU cores and 11 CPU cores. And another with 12 CPU, 18 GPU. So I'm assuming the weaker one is in that benchmark.
I corrected my post. Apologies for my mistake.
The M3 Pro is still 6% slower than the M2 Pro both with 12 CPU.

I see tons of high end M2 Max dump in my local Facebook market. Many enthusiastic pros are rushing into M3 Max. Soon one can get M2 Max for M3 pro price.
