      on apple site it is .2% faster than M2. margin of error difference. no one will be able to tell a difference from M2 and M3

    March 4, 2024 at 8:14 pm

    big deal. the M3 is just an tweaked M2 with LESS memory bandwidth, will throttle MORE because it runs hotter, and is only .2% faster than M2. you won’t be able to tell the difference in a blind test.

  30. @paulharrison8379

    March 5, 2024 at 7:55 am

    I am surprised that like the M1 and M2 MacBook Airs the new base level M3 MacBook air is misconfigured by Apple to give it sub-optimal performance. There is no excuse for only providing a 256 Gb SSD or only 8 Gb of RAM in any laptop costing more than $1,000 in 2024. A big problem in the UK and I guess also in America is that retail outlets only sell the 256 Gb flash/ 8 Gb RAM models and so it takes a real effort to buy a properly configured MacBook from a store.

    Apple are also still providing too little flash storage in the standard models of iPhone. I challenge anyone to find anything other than the 64 Gb iPhone SE 5G 2022 in a retail outlet. I would also challenge anyone to find an Android phone with less than 128 GB flash at the iPhone SE 5G 2022’s price point.

    The decreasing cost of PC SSDs still follows Moore’s law and so I am certain that it costs less to manufacture a 512 GB M3 MacBook Air than it did to manufacture a 256 Gb M1 MacBook Air.

  31. @tradingmyway0024
