The very first Geekbench 6 benchmarks of the MacBook Pro with M3 processor have started to appear in the Geekbench 6 database. What they show is a processor whose higher CPU performance is almost entirely owed to an increase in clock speed over the M2. The performance gains are roughly in line with Apple’s marketing (which focused primarily on comparisons with the M1), but seem to suggest that the CPU core designs alone are not particularly exciting. Here’s
