Listed below are all of the M3 Macs in growth

Apple is engaged on a slew of M3-powered Macs for late 2023 and 2024. The corporate’s next-gen SoC must be based mostly on the 3nm node and supply superior efficiency and effectivity.

The Cupertino large has unveiled all M2-based Macs for this yr, together with the M2 Extremely Mac Studio and Mac Professional.

M3 Mac mini noticed in growth

Within the newest Energy On version, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman notes recognizing an M3 Mac mini in third-party developer logs. The machine was operating macOS Sonoma 14.1 and packed eight CPU cores and a 10-core GPU.

This is similar variety of CPU and GPU cores as the bottom M2 chip. However due to the extra environment friendly 3nm node and presumably up to date CPU cores, the M3 SoC ought to ship higher efficiency.

As per Gurman, Apple presently has the next M3 Macs in growth:

• M3 13-inch MacBook Air (codenamed Mac 15,1 and J513/J613)
• M3 15-inch MacBook Air (codenamed Mac 15,2 and J515/J615)
• M3 13-inch MacBook Professional (codenamed Mac 15,3 and J504)
• M3 iMac (codenamed Mac 15,4, Mac 15,5, J433 and J434)
• M3 Professional and M3 Max 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Professionals (codenamed Mac 15,7, Mac 15,8, J514 and J516)
• Potential M3 Mac mini (codenamed Mac 15,12)

Apple plans to spice up the variety of cores on the M3 Professional and M3 Max. The previous may include a 12-core CPU and an 18-core GPU. As for the M3 Max, it would ship with 14 CPU cores and a 40-core+ GPU.

Entry-level M3 Macs may arrive in 2023

The primary M3 Macs may arrive as quickly as later this yr. However don’t count on any new high-end Macs.

If something, Apple may launch an up to date 13-inch MacBook Air and replace the getting old Professional mannequin with the newer chip. That is supplied the corporate doesn’t run into provide points with the 3nm chip, which relies on TSMC’s cutting-edge fabrication course of.

A delay may see Apple push the launch of M3 Macs to early 2024. All different extra highly effective Macs with M3 Professional, Max, and Extremely variants aren’t anticipated earlier than subsequent yr. And in case you are notably within the M3 Mac mini, a earlier rumor indicated it gained’t arrive earlier than late 2024.
