The re-using of taglines is a foreign concept to Apple, and while we have yet to see the company repeat the same words to market a product or service, we have noticed that on this occasion, the company used the exact same words for its October 30 ‘Scary Fast’ event. For those that do not know, the firm used the same tagline to describe the performance of the previous-generation M1 Pro and M1 Max, which can only mean that the M3 may surpass performance and power efficiency expectations.
Where Apple used the term ‘Scary Fast’ for its upcoming October 30, we are reminded that the Cupertino firm also used the same terms ‘Scary fast’ for the M1 Pro and ‘Scary faster’ for the M1 Max. MacRumors senior editor Tim Hardwick noticed similarities between the two and decided to share his findings on X. Though the M1 was a cut above the competition, it did not hold a candle to the M1 Pro’s and M1 Max’s performance, all possible thanks to the increased CPU and GPU core count, along with other changes.
Also, when found inside the 2021 MacBook Pro models, these chips rivaled desktop processors in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads while possessing battery endurance to help the portable Macs last for an entire day of continuous use. Using ‘Scary Fast’ for an upcoming event may hint that the M3 will finally overcome the M2’s shortcomings. For those who do not know, the M2 provided negligible performance and efficiency improvements over the M1, which may explain why Apple’s Mac sales suffered in 2023.

The 2023 MacBook Pro models featuring the M2 Pro and M2 Max only provide a fraction of a performance and battery life boost, and thanks to their expensive price tag, it only made the 2021 MacBook Pro an attractive purchase for consumers. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also notes that Mac shipments took a nosedive this year as the M2 did not provide anything noteworthy, which is why he predicts that Apple might be forced to announce the M3 and a few Macs to be paired with the latest silicon.
In any case, if you think ‘Scary fast’ and ‘Scary faster’ used for the M1 Pro and M1 Max may suggest that the ‘Scary Fast’ event set to announce the M3 will mean that the latter will finally deliver a meaningful difference between two chipset generations, let us know in the comments.
