manzana Testing of next-generation Mac computers has begun with the new M3 Pro chips, which have 12 CPU cores, 18 GPUs and 36GB of memory, and will arrive “late this year or early next year,” according to Gorman.
The American technology company is preparing its latest news for the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which it will present globally during the days from 5 to 9 June. However, it continues to work on progress for its next products, such as the new M3 Pro chipset.

In this sense, as noted by Bloomberg analyst and journalist Mark Gurman, Apple is already testing its new M3 chipset in next-generation Mac computers, and using it with third-party apps to check compatibility with its software ecosystem.
Additionally, according to data collected by the App Store developer shared with Bloomberg, this chipset is a chipset with 12 CPU cores, 18 GPU cores, and 36GB of memory, in its beta version.
Specifically, the CPU of this version consists of six high-performance cores to manage the most intensive tasks, as well as six more efficiency-focused cores, which are used in cases of activities that require less power.

Also, as the source pointed out, the M3 is being tested on a “high-end” MacBook Pro that has not yet been introduced with macOS 14.0.
Compared to the previous generation of M2 chips, the base version of the M3 will have two more power-efficient CPU cores, plus two additional graphics cores. Similarly, I would also like to increase the memory by 4GB more”in an upscale configurationaccording to Gorman.
All this configuration is due to the change in the manufacturing format of the M3 chips to a three-nanometer process, as Gurman had already indicated in March. This means that by manufacturing at 3nm, it is possible to include more cores in a microprocessor.
In addition to all this, Gurman stated that Mac computers with the new M3 chipset will be launched at the end of this year 2023 or the beginning of next year.
