Apple is said to be testing an M3 chipset for an upcoming MacBook Pro, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
The chip is part of Apple's upcoming M3 line and has a 12-core processor, 18-core GPU, and 36GB of memory.
- Gurman speculates that the chip is the base-level M3 Pro that Apple plans to release sometime next year.
- This chip would power Apple's next-generation 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, also due out in 2024.
- App Store developer logs show the chip running on one of the future MacBook Pros with macOS 14.
- The M3 Pro is said to boast a 50% increase in CPU cores compared to its predecessor.
- According to Gurman, Apple's M3 chip line will utilize TSMC's upcoming 3nm node process, an advancement from 5nm that will provide a significant leap in efficiency and performance.
