Apple in 2023 launched an Apple M3 Ultra Chip with a 24-inch iMac. New 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M3 series chips also launched. But the rest of Apple’s Mac lineup with the latest M3 processors.
Let’s discuss All the New M3 Apple Macs Expected This Year.
Apple is a company that always remains new due to its innovation and its outstanding range of hardware and software. Recently it has been in the news due to the Mac Mini M3 (Macbook Air M3 rumors). Recently some specifications have leaked. Now Mac Lovers are waiting for the Mac Mini M3 release Date which is still not announced.
M3 MacBook Air
Apple sells three versions of MacBook Air which are 13-inch models with the M1 chip, and 13-inch and 15-inch models equipped with the M2 chip. In which the first is a cheaper previous generation which is sold worldwide. When Apple discontinue the M1 MacBook Air and replace its top-of-the-line 13-inch and 15-inch machines with M3 equivalents?
The existing 15-inch MacBook Air was launched in June 2023 and only 6 months have passed. Apple released the M2 13-inch MacBook Air back in June 2022. This means that all the new M3 Apple Macs are expected this year in June 2024. Apple has new M3 MacBook Air models in development which is scheduled to release in March of this year.
Mac Mini
Apple announced the M2 and M2 Pro Mac mini models this January. Apple could be already testing an M3 Mac mini, according to Gurman. In August the “15,12” Mac machines were found in developer code. The Mac features an 8-core CPU (consisting of four efficiency cores and four performance cores). The Mac Mini has a 10-core GPU and 24GB RAM.
Based on the similar specifications M2 Mac mini Gurman believes it represents a next-generation Mac mini. Gurman previously said that he was not expecting an M3 version of the Mac mini to launch until late 2024, but as we know it is already in testing. It will launch soon.
Mac Studio, Mac Pro
Apple updated the Mac Studio and Mac Pro with M2 series chips in June 2023. Mac Studio models come with either the M2 Max or M2 Ultra chip. The Mac Pro has adopted the M2 Ultra.
Gurman believes that Apple is working on a new Mac Studio that is likely to launch in the second half of 2024. The next Mac Studio is likely to be launched with the as-yet-unannounced fourth variant of the M3 chip. As with previous generations, this will double the components of the “Max” version, meaning that it will feature up to 32 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores.
13-inch MacBook Pro
Apple has discontinued the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro. It has launched with a 14-inch model that’s equipped with a next-generation M3 chip. Apple also said that the 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro is up to 60 percent faster than the 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1. The M3 14-inch MacBook Pro will also come with an original 13-inch machine.
M3 Chip Speed and Performance Gains
The M3 series of chips are built on TSMC’s 3-nanometer process. Which brings performance and efficiency improvements over Apple’s previous M2 chips.
In the M1 and M2 series of Apple silicon, each chip has a baseline version. The Pro Chip launched with more cores for its central processing unit and graphics. We hope the next will be powerful. All of Apple’s M3 chips also boast GPU improvements not found in the M2 series. Which include Dynamic Caching, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and hardware-accelerated mesh shading.
M3
We hope that Apple’s base M3 chip will be featured in future MacBook Air models. It will update the lower-end version of the Mac mini. Based on Geekbench benchmarks, the M3 chip has single-core and multi-core scores. Which has around 3,000 and 11,700, respectively. The standard M2 chip has single-core and multi-core scores of around 2,600 and 9,700, respectively.
M3 Pro
We know that the recently released 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 models. The M3 Pro chip outperforms the M2 Pro. It was based on Geekbench benchmarks, single-core speed is up around 16.7 percent. Which has a multi-core speed of approximately 6.7 percent. The M3 Pro has 150GB/s memory bandwidth, while the M2 Pro has 200GB/s.
The M3 Pro and M2 Pro chips in the 16-inch MacBook Pro have 12 CPU cores. But the M2 Pro featured one additional GPU core over the M3 Pro.
M3 Max
Apple M3 series is slightly from the doubling strategy it followed with the M2 Max. It has added several more CPU cores to the M3 Max compared to the M3 Pro.
Benchmarks indicate that The M3 Chips of Apple in the 16-inch MacBook Pro are around as fast as the M2 Ultra chip. M2 Ultra Mac Pro is outperformed by what is on paper a lower-end machine which was released just four months after.
The M3-powered 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at $3,499 in the U.S. When it is configured with the M3 Max chip then the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra chip starts at $3,999.
M3 Ultra
It has not been announced the Mac M3 Ultra chip. The existing M2 Ultra has two M2 Max chips for double overall CPU and GPU performance. It has well as twice the memory bandwidth (800GB/s). If Apple continues to double both the CPU and graphics configurations with the Ultra then the Mac M3 Ultra could end up having 32 CPU cores and 80 graphics cores.
Conclusion
This is all about “the All the New M3 Apple Macs Expected This Year” and all the rumors in the market. The Macbook Air M3 Release Date is still not announced by the company.
