Apple's latest M-Series Mac chips, including the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, have raised the bar for notebook performance yet again, with the M3 Max achieving remarkable results in recent Geekbench and GFXbench tests. The base M3 model showcases a performance increase of approximately 9% compared to its predecessor, the M2, in early GPU benchmark tests, although real-world performance remains to be seen.
