Apple’s new flagship processor, the M3 Pro, has entered the stages of testing by the company to find out all the practical details of the processor, which it is preparing to launch for the first time in its devices by the end of the current year 2023.
Apple develops its own processors, whether in iPhones that bear the name A in addition to the generation number, or MacBook computers that bear the name M next to the generation, and this year the company plans to launch the third generation M3 Pro.
According to information published by the famous analyst in Apple news coverage, Mark Gurman, Apple has already started testing a new processor that is expected to be the M3 Pro in future devices such as the MacBook Pro with the upcoming macOS 14 operating system, which is expected to be unveiled at the company’s WWDC 2023 developer exhibition this month. Next.
In a report by Bloomberg, the analyst explained that new specifications for a processor from Apple were detected in the software code, which is being tested with macOS 14, as the processor operates with 12 central processing cores and 18 GPU graphics cores with 36 GB of random memory.
Gorman explained that these specifications are expected in the next flagship processor, the M3 Pro, for the next generation of 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros that will be launched next year.
And he confirmed that the processor is expected to be manufactured using the Taiwanese company TSMC chips with a 3-nanometer architecture to significantly improve performance and energy efficiency.
For comparison, the current Apple M2 Pro flagship processor in the 14-inch MacBook Pro contains 10 central processing cores and 16 for graphics processing, and it works with random memory starting from 16 GB.
So the M3 Pro chip will have at least two additional cores for both the CPU and the GPU.
It is expected that the M3 Pro processor will be officially unveiled at WWDC next month, but it will likely not reach any device before 2024, especially after Apple launched improved MacBook Pro devices with its new processor last January, so it will not be improved again. with a leading processor in the same year.
