Apple has updated the MacBook Air with the release of new models equipped with the M3 chip, marking a significant evolution compared to the previous generation with M2 chips. The choice between getting a MacBook Air M2 or opting for the latest M3 version is a relevant decision, especially considering the differences in performance, features, and also price. We will explore, therefore, all the differences between the MacBook Air M3 and the MacBook Air M2<\/strong> to have a clearer picture of which one may be more suitable for us.<\/p>\n\n\n

Performance: Chip M2 vs. M3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most notable leap between the two generations is found at the heart of the device: the Apple silicon chip. The MacBook Air M3 receives the M3 chip, based on the 3nm manufacturing process, which brings superior performance compared to the M2 chip<\/strong>, with improvements in single-core and multi-core tasks of approximately 17% and 21%, respectively. Additionally, the M3 enhances graphic performance by 15% thanks to its new GPU architecture, making it more suitable for intensive tasks such as advanced video editing, 3D rendering, and gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
