Apple Scary Fast Event: All about the Latest M3 chips
Enter the M3, the world's first 3nm consumer processor, a significant leap ahead of the 5nm Apple M2.
Apple Scary Fast Event: Apple Inc., at its live event today, got into the Halloween spirit with a spooky-themed "Scary Fast" product launch event. This year, the tech giant chose an online-only format instead of the traditional in-person meeting at its Cupertino, California, headquarters. Apple has launched its latest processors, the M3 Pro, M3 Max and M3 Ultra, which promise much higher performance than their predecessors, the M2 Pro, M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips. These processors are manufactured using the latest generation 3nm technology from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Let's explore what Apple has in store for consumers now.
M3 chip features
Enter the M3, the world's first 3nm consumer processor, a significant leap ahead of the 5nm Apple M2. This advancement allows Apple to include 25% more transistors in the system on a chip (SoC), increasing the number of transistors from 20 billion to 25 billion.
The M3's ground-breaking GPU features hardware-accelerated ray tracing, mesh shading, and an innovative feature known as dynamic caching, which optimizes memory allocation to improve efficiency.
Apple's next-generation GPU introduces mesh shading and ray tracing for the first time, paving the way for realistic lighting and shadows on Mac. This promises a whole new level of graphics performance for Macs equipped with M3 chips, raising hopes for gaming MacBooks to become a reality.
Surprisingly, the M3 matches the M1's CPU performance while using only half the power, an attribute reminiscent of the M1's acclaimed battery efficiency. The M3 chip delivers "incredible performance for our most popular devices" 65% faster than its predecessor.
The M3 line of chips is impressive. Like its predecessors, the base M3 has an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. The M3 Pro takes things up a notch with a 12-core CPU and 18-core GPU, while the M3 Max features a robust 16-core CPU and an impressive 40-core GPU, surpassing the M2 Max, which It has a limit of 38 cores.
Thanks to the efficiency of the 3-nanometer process, these chips offer overall improvements over the original M1 chip. The M3 Max goes a step further and supports up to 128GB of unified memory, while the M3 maxes out at 24GB, matching the capacity of the M2.
Apple's latest offering means a staggering 80% increase in performance compared to the M1 Max, making the M3 chips the most powerful chips ever designed for personal computers, according to Apple.
