In both previous families, those two variants have differed most in their GPUs, and their CPUs have been almost identical. As the M3 Max has two six-core P clusters, twice the number of the M3 Pro, those two variants now deliver very different performance and energy efficiency. This article compares performance of CPU P and E cores, to assess how that has changed betwe...
