The M3 chip may be a next-generation leap for Apple silicon and Apple’s future Macs. Here’s everything we know, from release dates to performance expectations.
There’s no doubt that Apple silicon has been a massive boost to Apple’s best Macs, banishing the days of sluggish performance under Intel’s processors. But what’s coming next? And more importantly, can Apple keep the momentum going?
Related For a while, it seemed as though the M3 might not come out this year at all. Then Apple announced its “Scary Fast” event set for October 30 at 5 p.m. PT. A release of the M3 seems likely, matching reports from both Ming-Chi Kuo and Mark Gurman. Both analysts have suggested that the M3 Pro and M3 Max will arrive in late 2023 in both the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros.
Which Macs will get M3 series chips? Because there will be several tiers in the M3 series, it’s worth investigating which Macs will get which chips. There’s also the case of the M3 Ultra. This is likely to come to two Macs: the Mac Pro and the Mac Studio. Don’t expect it any time soon, though, since the Mac Pro with an M2 Ultra chip is tipped to arrive at WWDC, while the Mac Studio only launched in spring 2022 and probably won’t be updated until 2024 at the earliest.
For one, every rumor points to the M3 chips being made using a 3-nanometer process. This basically means that the chips are expected to come with far more performance and energy efficiency than Apple’s M2 chips, which are made using a 5nm process. This should mean, in theory, that the M3 chips have the possibility of offering a larger jump in gen-over-gen performance than the M2 chips.
Performance for the high-end chips Unlike the M3, we actually have some apparent specs for the M3 Pro, as well as a degree of speculation on what core counts the M3 Max and M3 Ultra might have. None of this is definitively proven, so take it all with a dose of skepticism.
