Earlier this week, Apple announced<\/a> new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models, the first Mac updates of the year featuring M3 series chips. But there are other Macs in Apple’s lineup still to be updated to the latest M3 processors.<\/p>\n

\"M3
So, where do the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro fit into Apple’s M3 roadmap for the year ahead? Here’s what the latest rumors say.<\/p>\n

Mac Mini<\/h2>\n

Apple announced \u200cM2\u200c and \u200cM2\u200c Pro Mac mini models in January 2023, which at the time of writing is over 400 days ago. <\/p>\n

\"M3<\/p>\n

Mac Studio<\/h2>\n

Apple updated the \u200cMac Studio with \u200cM2\u200c series chips in June 2023. \u200cMac Studio\u200c models come with either the \u200cM2\u200c Max or \u200cM2\u200c Ultra chip, so logic would suggest we should expect equivalent M3 variants.<\/p>\n

\"M3<\/p>\n

According to the report, the M3 Ultra chip will be fabricated with TSMC’s N3E node, just like the A18 chip that is expected to debut in the iPhone 16 lineup later this year. This means it would be Apple’s first N3E chip. N3E is an enhanced version of TSMC’s 3nm process, offering slightly better performance and higher production yield.<\/p>\n

A couple of days after the TrendForce report, Gurman said he believes Apple is working on a new Mac Studio that is likely to be offered with the as-yet-unannounced fourth variant of the M3 chip<\/a>. This will, like previous generations, double the components of the “Max” version, meaning that it will feature up to 32 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores. Gurman says that it is likely to launch in the second half of 2024.<\/p>\n

Mac Pro<\/h2>\n

Along with the Mac Studio, Apple updated the Mac Pro with \u200cM2\u200c series chips during WWDC in June 2023. The \u200cMac Pro\u200c is only available in a single chip configuration, and currently ships with the \u200cM2\u200c Ultra chip that’s used in the Mac Studio.<\/p>\n

\"M3<\/p>\n

Indeed, Gurman thinks Apple is likely to refresh the Mac Pro with this new high-end chip in the second half of the year<\/a>. Notably, he does not believe that Apple is likely to again abandon the machine after only one year.<\/p>\n

MacBook Pro \u2013 Already Updated<\/h2>\n

Apple in November 2023 updated its MacBook Pro lineup<\/a> with M3 and M3 Pro chips, so the company’s work is already done in that regard. <\/p>\n
