Apple’s M3 Pro MacBook Pro benchmarks show it’s not much faster than the M2 Pro, and there’s little justification to upgrade from an M1 Pro Mac.
Apple ’s new M3 Pro chip is looking like an odd duck in an otherwise solidly improved MacBook Pro laptop. For most people who need a computer with a bit of oomph over dreary office tasks and need multiple external monitors, the M3 Pro will serve their needs and have great battery to boot. But year-over-year computer upgraders who might already have a Mac with an M2 Pro chip or even an M1 Pro might not see many performance improvements unless they shell out more dough for an M3 Max.
The performance differences aren’t by a whole lot; for instance, Ars Technica’s tests show single-core performance is about 15 percent better than the M2 Pro, but other scores put them mostly neck and neck. As YouTuber Luke Miani points out in a new benchmarking video, the M3 Pro seems purposefully limited, with fewer performance and GPU cores than the previous generation. His testing echoed the same results from other sources: the M3 Pro and M2 Pro perform almost identically overall.
