Apple recently announced a couple of new devices powered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets, and now the Cupertino-based technology giant is working on launching devices powered by the third-generation Apple Silicon chips.
According to the report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is working on new MacBook Air and iMac, which will come powered by the yet unannounced Apple M3 chipset.
The report also goes on to add that the M3 chipset from Apple will be manufactured using the 3nm process and is expected to be announced later this year or early next year. The same timeline also applies to the launch of these two devices — Apple MacBook Air and Apple iMac.
A few months ago, it was reported that the Apple M3-powered MacBook Air in 13-inch and 15-inch models, as well as a new iMac, could get launched early this year. But going by the developments, it appears that we aren’t going to see the launch of this new chipset and devices anytime soon, not at least for a few months.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which manufactures chips for Apple, has reportedly improved the 3nm processor’s speed by 15 percent and reduced power consumption by 30 percent compared to the 5nm chips. The company has already started mass-producing 3nm chips and could start manufacturing them in the United States in 2026.
Apart from MacBook Air and iMac powered by M3 chips, reports indicate that the company is also expected to launch MacBook Pro models powered by the M3 Pro and M3 Max processors in the first half of 2024.
