Compared to what- m1? So m1 and m2 use the same 5nm process, but m2 had small evolutionary improvements https://www.tomsguide.com/face-off/apple-m2-vs-m1

M3 has been another fairly substantial leap forward. I got an m3 MacBook last week and I’m seeing insane speed ups over my octo-core i9 it’s replacing, especially for heavy compute tasks like video encoding and ML workloads while generating next to no heat, rarely any fans at all, and an crazy battery life. Generating stable diffusion images went from about a minute to 5 seconds, handbrake encodes went from about 35fps to 196. I fired up steam and gamed for 4 or 5 hours and barely used 25% of the battery. 95% of the tasks I do don’t even turn on the fans, totally silent passive cooling most of the time. The whole thing is barely warm on my lap.

Now, my i9 on the other hand was a lap burner that had two fan settings: annoying and holy hell.

That's what I'm saying, m4 will be a refresh of the m3, don't expect more than an Intel performance increase
