Apple is expected to introduce the new M3 processor soon. Since the M3 has gone through the new manufacturing process, it is expected to be far superior in performance and efficiency compared to the M2 chip.Transition to the 3nm manufacturing process
The biggest change in the M3 processor is that it will be produced using a 3 nanometer manufacturing process. The processor in current Mac and iPhone models is based on the 5nm manufacturing process. Reducing the production size from 5nm to 3nm will be a big change. This means higher core density and increased performance and efficiency of each core.
First Mac models with Apple M3 chip
The Apple M3 Pro chip is expected to contain 12 CPU cores, 18 GPU cores, a maximum of 36GB of RAM. If we compare it with the M2 Pro processor, it will have +2 CPU and GPU cores. On the RAM side, the M2 Pro chip supports up to 32GB at most.
Apple’s first Mac models with the M3 chip; It could be the 13-inch MacBook Air, the new 24-inch iMac, and the MacBook Pro. Higher-end Mac models like the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro aren’t expected to be updated with the M3 chip until mid-2024. The M3 Ultra chip can be found in high-end Macs such as Mac Studio and Mac Pro.
When will Macs with M3 processors be released?
Macs that will be updated with the first 3nm processor produced by TSMC are expected to be released in October.
