At the time of writing, there are 9 posts, all of which are 'Mac 15.3' models. There are differences in the CPU name: 6 cases are 'Apple M3 4051MHz (8cores)' and 3 cases are 'Apple M3 4053MHz (8cores)', but the basic frequency column is 4.05GHz. The score is 2971-3095 for single core and 11082-11863 for multi-core.

There is one registration for '

Mac 15,5 '. The CPU is 'Apple M3 4053MHz (8cores)', and the score is 3049 for single core and 11724 for multi-core.

In the case of a standard M2 chip, the single-core score is around 2600 and the multi-core score is around 9700, so it can be said that ``the M3 chip is up to 20% faster than the M2 chip'', so Apple's The claim was confirmed to be correct. By the way, the multi-core score of this M3 chip is almost comparable to the M2 Pro chip.

In addition, there were 4 CPU benchmark results registered for 'Mac 15.7' equipped with M3 Max chip.
