Will be removed from Apple’s “3nm” manufacturing process M3 The first MacBook models carrying processors will not arrive in 2023 it seems.
Information obtained from supply processes by popular Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, It indicates that MacBooks with M3 processors will arrive in 2024. In this respect, Apple is not expected to introduce a MacBook with M3 at the iPhone 15 event on September 12. Apple one of the most important sources for Mark Gurman, Last month, he listed all the Mac models with M3 processors that he heard were under development. Gurman later shared all the technical specifications he had for these processors. According to the analyst, the technical features of the new processor family, some of its versions and the possible first Mac computer models that will use these processors are as follows:
M3:
– Specifications: 8 CPU cores (4 performance and 4 efficiency) and 10 GPU cores.
– Possible Macs that will use the chip: Base MacBook Pro, 13-inch MacBook Air, 15-inch MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac. (The next iPad Pro model will also have the M3.)
M3 Pro:
– Basic configuration: 12 CPU cores (6 performance and 6 efficiency cores) and 18 GPU cores.
– Top configuration: 14 CPU cores (8 performance and 6 efficiency cores) and 20 GPU cores.
– Possible Macs that will carry this processor: 14-inch MacBook Pro, 16-inch MacBook Pro, Mac mini.
M3 Max:
– Basic configuration: 16 CPU cores (12 performance and 4 efficiency cores) and 32 GPU cores.
– Top configuration: 16 CPU cores (12 performance and 4 efficiency cores) and 40 GPU cores.
– Possible Macs that will carry this processor: 14-inch MacBook Pro, 16-inch MacBook Pro, Mac Studio.
M3 Ultra:
– Basic configuration: 32 CPU cores (24 performance and 8 efficiency cores) and 64 GPU cores.
– Top configuration: 32 CPU cores (24 performance and 8 efficiency cores) and 80 GPU cores.
– Possible Macs that will carry this processor: Mac Studio and Mac Pro (if Apple continues to produce them).
Its performance is intriguing M3 processors, 3nm out of the production process and thus It will reduce energy consumption while increasing performance. A lot M1 The owner of a Mac computer with a processor is waiting to switch M3 processor, most likely M2 It will not attract the attention of users who have a Mac with a processor.
