All that was left was to see if Apple’s claim was true, and judging by the recently leaked benchmark scores, it seems that Apple has made good on its claims. Not only is the M3 chipset faster, it is a full 20% faster than the M2 chipset, which is a significant bump up in performance.
The singe core benchmark scores come in at 3000 for the M3 chipset, while the multi core benchmark scores come in at an impressive 11,700. When you compare this to the M2 scores (2,570 and 9,600 respectively), you can see that the improvement is quite significant.
