These are the PassMark results
Apple M3 platforms were tested in the PassMark benchmark, and the average M3 Pro was found to contain the fastest processor on the market when measured in single-threaded performance.
The 11-core M3 Pro scores 4,910 points, while the Core i9-14900KF, which dropped to second place, scores 4,852 points. M3 Pro with 12 cores shows a result of 4841 points. The M3 Max with its 16-core CPU scores 4816 points, while the base M3 scores 4784 points.
The Apple M3 Pro SoC outperformed even the Core i9-14900KF, but only in single-threaded mode.
The results are really impressive, but in multi-threaded mode everything is not so good. No, Apple’s new products are certainly very powerful, but even the M3 Max with its 16 new cores scores 39,921 points, while the leader, the Ryzen 9 7950X, shows a result of 63,230 points. The M2 Ultra remains Apple’s fastest solution so far with a score of 48,634 points, while the regular M3 scores 19,139 points.
