Real tests
What the test measures
Blender is a popular free 3D graphics program. The test makes the device render three ready-made 3D scenes (light, shadows, reflections) and counts how many render passes it finishes per minute. The higher the number, the faster the device handles heavy work: 3D, video editing, photo processing. On a CPU the test loads all cores at once, so it shows the chip's full power; on a graphics card it shows its compute strength.
GPU rendering (Blender)
Median of real test runs on users' computers. It does not show FPS in games. Data updated: 31.10.2026.
Description
Apple M3 GPU 8-core is Apple graphics built into the processor, Apple architecture. It has 1024 shader cores at up to 1380 MHz. There is no dedicated video memory — it borrows system RAM (unified), so speed depends a lot on the memory: two sticks (dual channel) give noticeably more FPS than one.
