There’s a lot of buzz surrounding Apple’s upcoming line of M3 chips. According to rumors, the new family will be significantly more powerful than the current M2 silicon. The M3 chips will apparently be based on the Apple A17 Bionic architecture, which will debut within the iPhone 15 family on September 12. This has sparked some speculation that the M3 chips and devices could arrive sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Please, Apple provided me with support for MacBook (M3 version) \u6a5f\u578b\u4e86

It appears that Apple will not launch new MacBook models (equipped with M3 series processors) until the end of this year.<\/p>\n

According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, that probably won’t be the case. According to the source, Apple no longer plans to release MacBook M3 models “before the end of this year.” This statement, on the surface, leaves some wiggle room to speculate whether Cupertino could still launch M3-based desktop Macs in 2023, like the rumored iMac models. The idea is that Apple’s desktop products are much smaller in volume than their laptops and may be able to get enough chips.<\/p>\n

That said, it seems that TSMC’s 3nm process, which Apple uses for the production of its M3 chips, is already widespread. Yields are apparently an issue, although a recent report suggests that Apple has already purchased TSCM’s entire 3nm capacity until at least the end of this year.<\/p>\n

All of this likely means that consumers will have to wait for M3 MacBooks and possibly even iPads until 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
