Apple’s just-announced M3-equipped MacBooks are within the fingers of reviewers and the Geekbench scores are pouring in. They revealed the potential of the M3 Max chip – it scores round 3,000 in single-core and round 21,000 in multi-core on Geekbench 6.
These numbers put the M3 Max near the M2 Extremely contained in the Mac Professional and Mac Studio, which scores round 2,800/21,000. The M2 Extremely is a 5 nm, 60 W chip with 24 cores (16 efficiency, 8 effectivity), whereas the M3 Max is a 3 nm, 30 W chip with 16 cores (12 efficiency, 4 effectivity). The M2 Extremely has a 76-core GPU, whereas the M3 Max does with half that, though clearly graphics energy is not examined by Geekbench.
On stage, Apple mentioned the M3 Max CPU is as much as 50% sooner than its predecessor, the M2 Max. These multi-core Geekbench scores come simply wanting that mark, however nonetheless present the M3 Max is round 40% sooner.
Do not count on the identical efficiency improve from the M3 Professional, although. On paper, the M3 Professional might be considered as inferior to the M2 Professional – the M3 Professional has a 12-core CPU with 6 efficiency and 6 effectivity cores, whereas the M2 Professional has 8 efficiency and 4 effectivity cores. The reminiscence bandwidth of each the M2 Professional and M1 Professional is rated at as much as 200 GB/s, whereas the M3 Professional is 150 GB/s.
