Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU) vs Apple M3

The Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU) is based on the M2 architecture and is manufactured using the 5 nm process.

It is aimed at professional users who demand high computing power, especially for complex and graphics-intensive tasks. With its 12 CPU cores, including performance and efficiency cores, it offers significantly higher multi-core performance compared to the Apple M3.

The integrated graphics unit with 19 cores is more powerful and delivers superior performance in graphics-intensive applications and gaming scenarios. The maximum memory bandwidth is 102 GB/s, and it features 36 MB of Level 2 Cache, which supports data processing. In scenarios that benefit from many cores, the Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU) truly excels.

The Apple M3 is the next generation of Apple's processor architecture and is manufactured using the more advanced 3 nm process. This processor offers significantly improved single-core performance compared to the Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU) and higher energy efficiency.

It is designed for a wide range of users who need balanced performance for everyday tasks up to more demanding applications. The integrated graphics unit, known as Apple M3 (10 Core), offers solid graphics performance, but is less powerful than that of the Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU) for gaming or professional graphics editing.

The maximum memory bandwidth is also 102 GB/s, and it features 20 MB of Level 2 Cache. The Apple M3 offers excellent performance per watt, contributing to longer battery life in portable devices.
