“Analyzed”, man do I miss the real analysis that Ian Cutress did on these things. The actual architectural deep dives.
You mean Andrei Frumusanu. Ian Cutress mostly does intel.
Andrei, btw, is now at Qualcomm (team Nuvia).
Oh yeah, that’s right! Got em mixed up
8-Core CPU:
- Up to 35% faster than M1
- Up to 20% faster than M2
- 4-Cores (Performance) Top = 4.056 GHz (or ~3.6 GHz when all cores are loaded)
- 4-Cores (Efficiency) Top = 2.748 GHz
10-Core GPU:
- Up to 60% faster than M1
- Up to 20% faster than M2
- Dynamic caching, where cache and memory are allocated dynamically based on the actual requirements of applications.
- Hardware-based ray tracing, mesh shading and AV1 decoding.
- However, only two displays can be used at a time.
The other interesting summary figure is more-or-less maintaining power efficiency as before on lower power with comparable performance to other chips at higher power usage.

Either way it is spun (pun intended), it’s very impressive performance boost and fast cadence of release by Apple. notebook.check is a handy website, thanks for posting OP.
20% jump in one generation is massive. If they continue this the M series chips will be (even more) crazy fast in no time.
I am wary of a stat that says “up to” rather than “on average”
