Apple M3, M3 Pro, M3 Max: new features in detail
This was the big anticipation of Apple's evening conference: the presentation of the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips . This new generation of Apple Silicon SoC will logically find its place in all new Macs and MacBooks for the coming year. It marks a real gap with the M1 generation thanks to a change in the manufacturing process. Transition to 3nm The first big novelty is the use of the TSMC N3 manufacturing process. This is the first real change in the manufacturing process for a Mac chip at Apple since the M1 and M2 generations were respectively based on TSMC's N5 and N5P processes. This means that Apple can, for the same chip size, allocate more space to new functions or to more CPU or GPU cores and thus increase the performance of its chip. Being able to launch mass manufacturing of three chips at once, M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max using such a new manufacturing process was a real industrial challenge that Apple seems ready to take on. A more efficient processor Apple has updated the CPU a…
