Bandwidth basis
100 GB/s is the figure the llama.cpp #4167 scoreboard prints for the base M3 (the 10-core GPU row; the 8-core row is blank but the same die), and it is Apple's published unified-memory bandwidth for the base M3. A secondary summary table rounds this to 102 GB/s; the scoreboard and Apple's own figure used here are 100.
Unified memory
yes
Consumer part
yes
notes
Base M3 as measured in the #4167 scoreboard: the 10-core GPU bin at 100 GB/s, up to 24 GB unified memory (iMac / MacBook Pro 14-inch / MacBook Air, late 2023). The 8-core GPU bin is a blank row in that scoreboard and is not given its own numbers here. Distinct from local-apple-m3-pro (18-core, 150 GB/s), local-apple-m3-pro-14core (14-core, 150 GB/s) and apple-m3-max. memory_bus_bit is null; not back-computed from bandwidth.
