    Apple claims the transition from TSMC's N5 to
    N3 has resulted in a 30% boost in performance
    for the M3's performance cores compared to M1's.

Is that 30% more performance while weight and power consumption are the same?

I think the article is wrong to say that Apple said using N3 over N5 gave 30% boost. The said M3 performance cores are 30% faster than M1 performance cores. Some part of this speed-up comes from the smaller node.
