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.

The next generation of Apple M series processors is expected to debut soon in upcoming Mac products. But prior to any official announcement, a new report hints at the key specs of the new top-end M3 Ultra chip, which appears to be quite powerful.

Apple M3 Ultra Mac Studio features a beefy processor

The Cupertino based giant will apparently be equipped with the M3 Ultra, as per the latest Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter. Apple’s previous M2 Ultra processor offered 24-core CPU and a 76-core GPU. However, the upcoming M3 Ultra is equipped with a whopping 32-core CPU that consists of 24 high-performance cores and 8 high-efficiency cores. On the other hand, the GPU core count has risen to 80 in the next-gen processor.

The Power On newsletter added that Apple could also be planning to launch new memory options for its MacBook Pro laptops. So now, MacBook models might launch with 36GB and 48GB of RAM. Furthermore, the brand is also testing higher memory configurations for other Mac series of PCs as well. The M2 Ultra-powered Mac Studio could be bought with up to 192GB of RAM, so there is a chance that the M3 Ultra may offer even higher memory capacity like 256GB of RAM.

Apple is currently testing the M3 Ultra for the next-generation Mac Studio and Mac Pro. Gurman believes that the first batch of M3-powered Macs will launch sometime in October 2023 with the new 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models. The new iMac could also feature this processor, while the M3 Pro and M3 Max CPUs for Macs could drop sometime next year.
