Processor comparisons 02-02-2023
Let's say you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision after reading the full tests Intel Core i3-N300 vs Apple M1 Pro and decide which is better for games or simple use for programming, machine learning, video editing, streaming, rendering. Here is useful information from real streaming and video editing tests or different benchmarks. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.

Summary benchmark resultsAs a percentage of the maximum value based on a sample from the entire base of all processors
Processor Benchmark
| Core i3-N300 | 54% |
M1 Pro | 59% |
This value shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, M1 Pro is 8% better than Core i3-N300. The data source is several popular tests. More detailed information of the benchmarks is below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| Core i3-N300 | 52% |
M1 Pro | 57% |
The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor at the moment. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a small game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.
List of other games in which CPU comparisons were performed: Horizon Zero Dawn, Monster Hunter World, Forza Horizon 4, DOTA 2A, Battlefield V, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, NBA 2K20, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Half-Life: Alyx, Metro Exodus, Hitman 3, Ghostrunner, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Control, League of Legends (LOL).
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 92.1 | 101.0 | | Valorant | 104.7 | 114.8 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 58.6 | 64.3 | | Apex Legends | 98.4 | 107.9 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 78.5 | 86.1 | | Overwatch | 84.8 | 93.0 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 72.2 | 79.2 | | DOOM Eternal | 52.4 | 57.4 | | Warzone | 81.7 | 89.5 | | Assassin's Creed | 88.0 | 96.4 | | Valheim | 86.9 | 95.3 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparisons not only were the equipped with different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, FullHD or 4K. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| Core i3-N300 | 498% |
M1 Pro | 358% |
To make a finishing choice on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. It is clear that the newer the generation, the better the performance of the processor in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Core i3-N300 is more energy efficient than the M1 Pro since it has less power consumption: 7W vs. 16W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you must know its TDP. It is necessary to count so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.
Software benchmarksFor example you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for programming, video editing or video rendering, machine learning, streaming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the CPU uses all threads and cores that it has to the maximum to reach maximum performance. You will find out this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the program you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that can use only one core to work, and all the benefit of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the most helpful will be the the possibility of overclocking it and release date of the processor. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS even in the newest games. The savings are obvious! It turns out that you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here M1 Pro is 45% better than Core i3-N300 in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that M1 Pro has 2 more core than Core i3-N300. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).
Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i3-N300 is better: 9
The number of parameters for which Apple M1 Pro is better: 28
However, it should be realized that the summary data in the article above do not mean that taking them into account you should entirely trust a simple comparison of these figures. Better to watch the video tests and read the reviews of of people who bought Intel Core i3-N300 and Apple M1 Pro before making a choice which of the processors to buy for gaming.
