The latest chipset specifically designed for Apple’s newest devices, the Apple M3, is rumored to be one of the best next-gen chipsets. We have found rumors suggesting that this new chipset will easily outperform the previous generation Apple M2 chipset. But is it true?
Apple M3 Chipset Will Be More Powerful As a company based in Silicon Valley, it is natural for Apple to innovate to provide the best computing performance in all its devices. One of the innovations is the latest chipset specially made for the MacBook, the Apple M3, which is manufactured using 3nm fabrication technology along with its sibling, the A17 Bionic for the iPhone.
It is not surprising that the new chipset’s performance can significantly exceed that of the previous generation. This was revealed by Vadim Yuryev through his recent tweet, which can be seen below.

Fewer Cores but More Powerful
It is interesting to see the capabilities of the new chipset produced by the Silicon Valley-based company. What is even more interesting is that what Vadim Yeryev revealed turned out to be true.
Comparing the new chipset with ease, it was able to outperform the Apple M2 Max and M2 Pro chipsets. Although the difference is not significant, this chipset without the Pro or Max labels deserves recognition.
The results can be seen below for the 2023 MacBook Pro 16″:

This means that the performance difference on paper is at least 24% faster for single-core, but 6% slower for multi-core against the M2 Max, and 30% faster for single-core and 10% faster for multi-core when compared to the M2 Pro.
