MacBook Pro 16-Inch (2023) M3 Max vs MacBook Pro 16-Inch (2023) M2 Pro

Perhaps the most notable change comes down to performance. The M3 chips were built based on the 3-nanometer process, the same that is used in the iPhone 15 Pro’s new A17 Pro chips. That translates to faster performance than the prior models. At the same time, according to Apple, it also means the M3 lineup is more power-efficient, offering the same multithreaded performance as the M1 while consuming about half the power. Altogether, each laptop in the M3 family should last up to 22 hours, longer than their predecessors.

When it comes to GPU and CPU cores, the M3 Max chips offer more than their predecessor. The M3 Max features a 16-core CPU and up to a 40-core GPU, with a GPU performance that’s 80 faster than the M1 Max, according to Apple. Apple doesn’t provide a direct comparison between the M2 and M3, but that still represents a substantial improvement given that Apple claimed the M2 Max whose CPU and GPU maxed out at 12 cores and 38 cores was up to 30 percent faster than the M1 Max in graphics
