Apple says that, unlike traditional GPU chips, the M3 uses Dynamic Caching to “allocate the use of local memory in real time.”
Why is this significant? Well because, Apple says, this can ensure the precise amount of memory required is spent on that particular task. That means none is going to waste.
Apple says this is an industry first and calls it the “cornerstone of the new GPU architecture” pioneered by the M3-series chips.
Apple says the feature is completely transparent to developers and “dramatically increases the average utilisation of the GPU.”
The result is significant performance bumps when using the most intense apps and games.
