<p data-beyondwords-marker="a2ebfc42-6546-4510-8a59-e74648bf1d50">Apple’s computing division has been constantly innovating. In January, they introduced the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max configurations. They followed that up with the first-ever 15-inch MacBook Air, as well as the Mac Studio and Mac Pro models that were revealed at <a href="https://technext24.com/2023/06/06/wwdc-2023-unveiling-apple-vision-pro/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WWDC in June</a>. They also promised a Vision Pro headset that could potentially change the world of computing.</p>
<p data-beyondwords-marker="f6538a20-e067-4bfd-84c6-8e0197d602d6">However, Apple doesn’t seem to be slowing down. During its <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctkW3V0Mh-k" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">October “Scary Fast” event </a>yesterday, the company unveiled a set of Mac computers that could be their most attractive yet. In an evening keynote held at their Cupertino headquarters, Tim Cook and the company’s product executives revealed new MacBook Pros and a revamped 24-inch iMac, which are all powered by Apple’s newest M3 processors.</p>
<p data-beyondwords-marker="718aff28-a0d4-4e31-be31-56f8815b6a69">The highlight of this year’s Apple event was the new M3 chipset series, which includes the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max versions. The M3 Pro and M3 Pro Max feature a faster and more efficient new engine that is said to be 60% faster than its predecessor, the M2. <strong>Here’s a roundup of the major announcements from the event.</strong></p>

<p data-beyondwords-marker="6d2c03f3-7136-4a00-a04a-2d1abd1ac0c3">Just as mentioned, the highlight of the event was the introduction of Apple’s new silicon – the M3 chips, representing a significant leap in processing power. The M3 lineup includes the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips, developed using a cutting-edge 3-nanometer manufacturing process.</p>
<p data-beyondwords-marker="895970ec-0d5d-4ce1-a4b5-a057741bebec">The new M3 chips, built on TSMC’s 3nm process, succeed the M2 chips’ 5nm process and fall in line with the new iPhone 15 Pro’s A17 Pro chip. The cutting-edge transistors of the 3nm process allow Apple to improve the GPU performance of its Mac computers — up to 1.8 faster graphics performance than the M2 chip. The efficiency cores get a big leap, too, with a 30% improvement compared to the M2 series and a 50% improvement over the M1 series.</p>
<p data-beyondwords-marker="bbc7d939-0cd0-4e72-a1f6-0ac4f1cbf300">These chips mark the “first personal computer chips” made with this advanced process, promising faster and more efficient performance.</p>
<p data-beyondwords-marker="0c4fd802-fe60-4287-a31f-39cbc38c340b">The M3 chips are equipped with an upgraded GPU that supports ray tracing, mesh shading, and Dynamic Caching, a feature that optimizes memory usage during tasks. Offering up to 128GB of unified memory, the M3 Max chip boasts an impressive 92 billion transistors, a 40-core GPU, and a 16-core CPU.</p>
