The Apple MacBook Pro model with the M3 Pro chip has made its debut on Geekbench, and the results indicate a slight improvement over its predecessor, the M2 Pro.
According to the Geekbench listing with the identifier "Mac15,6," the benchmark comes from the 14-inch MacBook Pro. This particular laptop is running macOS 14.1 and is equipped with 36.00 GB of memory.
The results reveal that the M3 Pro chip has a base frequency of 4.05GHz, with a single-core score of 3035 and a multi-core score of 15173. For comparison, the Geekbench scores for the 2023 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro were 2644 for single-core and 14229 for multi-core.
In essence, this means that the M3 Pro chip outperforms the M2 Pro by 14.79% in single-core performance and 6.63% in multi-core performance. When compared to the 12-core M2 Max, the improvement falls around 10.93% for single-core and 4.66% for multi-core.
Previously, the M3 Max chip also appeared on this benchmarking platform, with a single-core score exceeding 3200 and a multi-core score surpassing 31600. This results in a 17.4% improvement in single-core performance and a 49.1% improvement in multi-core performance compared to the M2 Max.
For comparison, the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra chip achieved a single-core score of 2832 and a multi-core score of 21497. In this context, the M3 Max chip offers a 13.38% increase in single-core performance while being roughly on par in multi-core performance.
Looking at the M3 Max chip's Geekbench 6 Metal benchmark, it surpasses the M2 Max by approximately 20%, which translates to a performance gap similar to that between the A17 Pro and A16 Bionic chips.
The highest-end version of the M3 Max chip, featuring a 40-core GPU, achieved a Metal score of 158466 in the Geekbench 6 Metal test, roughly 20% higher than the M2 Max. However, it falls slightly behind the M1 Ultra with up to 64 cores.
In the Metal test, the previous-generation M2 Ultra chip achieved a score of approximately 208621, indicating a significant difference between the two chips. Nonetheless, it's important to note that these two SoCs serve different purposes, with one designed for laptops and the other for desktops.
In terms of GPU performance, the Apple M3 Max chip's GFXBench score is close to that of the mobile RTX 4080, with only a 7% difference. This level of performance is akin to that of the desktop RTX 4070, making it a robust contender in the GPU department.
