Apple M3 10-Core GPU: An integrated graphics adapter designed by Apple that features 10 cores. This iGPU is built into the Apple M3 SoC; it uses the unified memory architecture and has support for new technologies such as mesh shading and ray tracing. In our testing, the M3 GPU (10 cores) mostly was 5% to 20% faster than the 10-core M2 GPU depending on the task. Just like the rest of the Apple M3 chip, the graphics adapter is manufactured on a 3 nm TSMC process (possibly N3B).
