The M3 processor is an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU or 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU chip. But the previous generation has the same specs, so what’s the difference here? The latest chipset offers improvements across the board compared to the older one. It is manufactured with a new 3nm process, which allows more transistor counts and high bandwidth.
