This is the best summary I could come up with:


For most people who need a computer with a bit of oomph over dreary office tasks and need multiple external monitors, the M3 Pro will serve their needs and have great battery to boot.

As YouTuber Luke Miani points out in a new benchmarking video, the M3 Pro seems purposefully limited, with fewer performance and GPU cores than the previous generation.

Overall, it points to a change in strategy for Apple’s chip lineup: the M3 Pro, while better than the standard M3, is further behind the M3 Max than its M2-generation counterparts.

The new lineup puts more daylight between the new “mid” (M3 Pro) and high end (which can tilt buyers toward spending at least $2,999 for the Max — even if they don’t really need it).

The M3 Pro demonstrates overall maturation in design, but for those hoping to see bigger year-over-year gains to justify a new purchase, it might be worth waiting for one more generation.

And although the M3 Pro isn’t a huge jump from, well, even the regular M3 for most people, there are still some performance gains to appreciate, along with the ability to connect two external monitors instead of one.
