Apple has been working on its next-generation Apple Silicon chips, and the company has now reportedly started testing the new Apple M3 series chips for its upcoming devices.
As per the latest report from Bloomberg, the new chips are expected to arrive as soon as October this year, i.e., in a couple of months. It also adds that the company is testing multiple variants of the chip.
The report indicates that the high-end chip in the lineup, the Apple M3 Max, may have four more high-performance CPU cores and at least two more graphics cores compared to the M2 Max chip, which was made available earlier this year.
Coming to the devices, the Cupertino-based tech giant is testing new iMacs, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, a 13-inch MacBook Air, a 15-inch MacBook Air, and a new Mac Mini. All these devices are running the M3 chip and are expected to go official in the next 12 months. It seems that we may have to wait a bit longer for the updated 14-inch and 16-inch models of the MacBook Pro.
The refresh cycle for the devices seems to have become a bit aggressive from Apple as the company is trying to move ahead from the struggling sales. The anticipated 15-inch MacBook Air got launched in June this year, but the sales numbers are not matching the company’s expectations.
As for the launch of the new chip and Mac devices, the company is expected to announce them in the month of October but an exact launch date is yet to be revealed.
