Rumor that Apple is testing M3 Pro chip with CPU 12 core & GPU 18 core
Bloomberg reporter Marc Garman, who is familiar with Apple's internal affairs, reports that Apple has already begun testing the next-generation model of the

The M2 chip was announced at the developer event ' WWDC22 ' held in June 2022. The M2 process node is TSMC's 5nm technology N5P, equipped with an 8-core CPU and 8-10 core GPU, and the number of transistors has reached 20 billion.

In addition, in January 2023, the M2 Pro and M2 Max were announced, which greatly improved the number of CPU and GPU cores, unified memory capacity and bandwidth.

And according to Garman, Apple is developing the next-generation Apple silicon 'M3 Pro' chip, which is already in the testing stage. ``At least one version of the M3 under test has 12 CPU cores (6 high-efficiency cores + 6 high-performance cores), 18 GPU cores, and 36 GB of unified memory,'' Garman reports. . This spec has 2 more high-efficiency CPU cores, 2 more GPU cores, and 4GB more unified memory than the M2 Pro, so we can expect an improvement in the performance of the M3 Pro.
Garman also said, ``The chip under development will be installed in the MacBook Pro with macOS 14.0, the next major version of macOS Ventura , and will probably be the basic version of the M3 Pro that will appear in 2024.'' says. However, Mr. Garman reports only the specifications of 'M3 Pro', and the specifications of M3, which will be the most basic, are unknown.
In addition, Gurman said the M3 chip will switch process nodes to TSMC's 3nm generation process, N3, which will allow the chip to be more dense, putting more cores in a smaller processor. I pointed out that it can be done. 'The first Macs with the M3 chip will arrive in late 2023 or early 2024,' Garman said. We are working on the development of iMac, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air.'
