The core counts listed don't make sense: for M1 Pro they're quoting the fully-enabled 8p2e config but for M2 Pro and M3 Pro they're quoting the cut-down configs

The core counts listed don't make sense: for M1 Pro they're quoting the fully-enabled 8p2e config but for M2 Pro and M3 Pro they're quoting the cut-down configs (6p4e and 5p6e) that are only available in the 14" MacBook Pro (and Mac Mini, for M2 Pro). For context, the M1 Pro's cut-down config was 6p2e.
At best, none of these conclusions would apply to the 16" MacBook Pro, and would be the wrong comparisons to make for the 14".
- mh8h 3y agoThe fully-enabled 8p2e CPU config is the same as the one in M1 Max.
- wtallis 3y agoYeah, so? The M2 Pro and Max also had the same CPU config for their respective fully-enabled configurations. But I don't see how the degree of similarity between Pro and Max chips is relevant to this failed attempt to compare three generations of just the Pro chips.
- itsdrewmiller 3y agoThe fully enabled M3 pro only has one more efficiency core - I agree like for like would be better but I doubt it would make a material difference.
- mwpmaybe 3y agoSorry, but that's not correct. The fully-enabled M3 Pro has one more P-core. It's 5p+6e vs 6p+6e.
