Apple M3 in Cinebench 2026 Single-Thread

Here we show you how fast the Apple M3 is in the Cinebench 2026 Single-Thread. Based on the result, you can assess whether this processor is suitable for you. In addition to the clock frequency, the number of CPU cores is also crucial. Please note that these benchmark values can only be achieved if the Apple M3 is sufficiently cooled, as current processors usually achieve their maximum performance in benchmarks and in practice in turbo mode.
