Release from 10/31/23: During his Scary Fast event Apple Officially announced as expected new range of SoC chips (System-on-Chip) Architecture House POOR engraved 3nm from TSMC: Apple Silicon M3, Apple Silicon M3 Pro And Apple Silicon M3 Max.
The Apple company claims that its new generation of M3 chips offers performance increase 30% compared to M1 and 15% compared to M2 with a increased efficiency (power per watt) of 50% or 30%.
THE Neural machine (AI engine) with 16 cores has been announced More quickly of 60% and 15% respectively.
Furthermore, the Graphical solution added in Silicon M3 is now supportedRay tracing hardware accelerationTHE dynamic cache and that AV1 decoding for up to 2.5x improvement in rendering speed.
The chip Apple Silicon M3 from 8 hearts Processor (4 efficient cores and 4 efficient cores) and up to 10 graphics coreswith 24GB of unified memory (maximum) and 25 billion transistors.
L’Apple Silicon M3 Pro from 12 hearts (6P + 6E) and up to 18 graphics coreshas 36GB of unified memory and 37 billion transistors.
L’Apple Silicon M3 Max from 16 hearts (12P + 4E) and up to 40 graphics coressupports up to 128GB of unified memory and has 92 billion transistors.
The first laptops to integrate the new generation of M3 chips are the Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and the Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch.
You are expected November 7th next in Space Grey, Space Black and Silver and offer a announced autonomy of 22 hours Streaming and 15 hours while surfing the Internet macOS Sonoma.

To count 1999 euros For a Apple MacBook Pro 14 inch with chip Apple M3 with 8 CPU cores, 10 GPU cores and 16-core neural engine as well as 8 GB unified memory, 512 GB SSD and USB-C adapter 70W.
The price rises to 2479 euros to get 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and an adapter 96W.
For a model with M3 Pro (11 CPU cores, 14 GPU cores, 16 NE cores) with 18 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD and 70 W calculate at 2499 euros, compared to 2999 euros for the upgrade to an M3 Pro (12 CPU cores, 18 GPU cores, 16 NE). cores), 1TB and 96W SSD.
One edition M3 max (14 CPU cores, 30 GPU cores, 16 NE cores) with 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD and 96W is expected to cost 3999 euros, compared to 5264 euros for upgrading to an M3 Max (16 CPU cores, 40 GPU cores, 16 NE cores), 64GB RAM, 2TB and 96W SSD.
The new one is more expensive Apple MacBook Pro 16 inch (XDR Retina) is announced starting at 2999 euros with an M3 Pro (12 CPU cores, 18 GPU cores, 16 NE cores), 18 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD and 140 W, against 2499 euros, against 5539 euros for one Upgraded to an M3 Pro (16 CPU cores, 40 GPU cores, 16 NE cores), 64GB RAM and 2TB SSD.
The announcement of these new functions will take place withEnd of marketing of the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch with M2 chipalso marks that End of the Touch Bar.
It remains to be seen whether the Cuppertino company will launch a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a new design with an M3 chip next year…
