On: Tracking developer build times to decide if the M3 MacBook is worth upgrading

>M2 is a significant upgrade on the M1 machines. M3 is an incremental improvement on M2.

Cinebench and Geekbench tell a different story. M2 is a small upgrade over M1 while M3 is a bigger upgrade over M2.

This quoted statement is true for the Pro chips. For the Max, yes the M3 series is a sizable upgrade.

It's worth noting they're using the binned Max and quite frankly are undercutting the actual results the Max produces, it appears to be substantial.
