Apple’s 3nm M2 Pro chip will go into mass production later this year


Apple unveiled the M1 chip in November 2020 and announced its successor, the M2, at its WWDC event earlier this week. It powers the new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro introduced at the same event, and while these MacBooks won’t hit shelves until next month, Haitong Intl Tech Research analyst Jeff Pu says Apple supplier TSMC will begin production of bulk of the M2 Pro chip by the end of the year.

The M2 Pro will be based on the 3nm process instead of the 5nm process used for the M2 and M1 Pro vanilla. It is said to have four efficiency cores and eight performance cores, unlike the M1 Pro, which comes with two lower efficiency cores.

Pu also said that Apple’s AR headset, which is expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2023, will be announced after the Chinese New Year and will go into mass production in February 2023. Additionally, the analyst confirmed rumors that The iPhone 15 Pro sports a periscope lens for optical zoom mentioning Apple’s plans to use its own modem in the iPhone 2023.
