Gurman: Apple’s M3 and Pro chips have not improved much, but M3 Max is very strong

[Gearbest News]Recently, well-known technology whistleblower Mark Gurman evaluated Apple’s newly released M3 and M3 Pro chips. He said that while these two chips are not much of a game-changer, the release of the M3 Max is undoubtedly a considerable feat.

It is understood that the basic M3 chip uses an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. Compared with the previous generation M2, it has not changed much, but it has a “good update” compared to the M1 chip. Gurman said that the performance of the 2023 24-inch iMac is twice that of the 2021 model. As for the M3 Pro, he said that the relevant chip only added a pair of high-energy-efficiency cores, but the number of GPU cores has not increased. Therefore, the M3 Pro does not have much improvement in performance compared to the M2 Pro.

Gurman’s evaluation of the M3 and M3 Pro is relatively conservative, but he is still confident in Apple’s future development. Previously, he revealed that Apple is working on a more powerful processor that is expected to be launched in the next few years. This news shows that Apple’s development in the chip field is still continuing and may bring more surprises to users in the future.

Despite this, Gurman’s evaluation of the M3 Max is quite high. He said that compared with the previous generation products, the M3 Max has the largest performance improvement. This high-end offering with its 16-core CPU is actually already faster than the M2 Ultra and its 24-core CPU.

In any case, against the background of tight global chip supply, Apple can continue to launch high-performance processor products, which has demonstrated its strength in technology research and development and industrial chain integration.
