The M1 iMac offered an 8-core CPU, up to 8-core GPU, and up to 16GB RAM. Apple skipped the M2 and went straight to the M3, which has the following specs:

bout 15 percent faster and has much more powerful graphics. Additionally, it has a faster Neural Engine, a ProRes encode and decode engine and AV1 support.
