Apple has been actively working on its upcoming M series chips. We have received multiple reports indicating the company will launch highly anticipated Macs equipped with an M3 chip somewhere near October 2023. In the recent Power On newsletter by Mark Gurman, the industry specialist revealed some key details about the M3 chip. However, one key detail about the RAM configuration was missed.
In a new tweet, Vadim Yuryev pointed out the missed details regarding the M3 leaks. He pointed out that the upcoming M3 family of Mac chips includes 36GB and 48GB RAM options, which leads us to believe that the base M3 will have 12GB of unified RAM. For those unaware, ever since the launch of M1, Apple has provided 8GB of unified RAM as the starting point, but that is about to change. This could also mean that in the future, Apple might also introduce its MacBooks with a minimum of 512GB storage instead of 256GB.
Additionally, the upcoming M3 Ultra will be equipped with a 32-core CPU containing 24 high-performance cores and 8-high-efficiency cores, which is a significant upgrade compared to M2. For those unaware, the Apple M2 offers a 24-core CPU and a 76-core GPU. The details and key points of the newsletter are covered on our website, so make sure to check it out. It is likely that Apple won’t acknowledge any of these leaked details before the launch. But if these rumors are true, this will be a new era for MacBooks. Stay tuned for more details.
