In June of this year, Apple unveiled a newly designed MacBook Air, with a fanless silent design and equipped with 15The 3-inch Liquid Retina display with M2 chip and up to 18 hours of battery life is available in four colourways: Midnight, Starry Sky, Space Grey and Silver. With the release of a new generation of M3 series chips at the end of the year, product line updates are gradually on the agenda.
According to WCCFTECH, Apple plans to update the MacBook Air lineup in March 2024 to bring a new M3 version, and no changes are expected in terms of design. It is understood that Apple is advancing the development of both 13-inch and 15-inch models, which have entered the final stage.
Apple launched a new generation of M3 series chips, as well as MacBook Pro and iMac models with new chips at the second autumn new product launch event of this year with the theme of "Scary Fast". The M3 series, which includes the M3, M3 PR and M3 Max, is built on TSMC's 3nm process, and the GPU introduces a new technology called "dynamic caching", as well as new rendering features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading for the first time on a Mac, as well as an enhanced neural engine.
The M3 integrates 25 billion transistors inside, and the CPU part has 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, as well as a GPU with up to 10 cores, supporting up to 24GB of unified memoryThe M3 Pro integrates 37 billion transistors inside, the CPU part has 6 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, and the GPU part has 18 cores and supports up to 36GB of unified memoryThe M3 MAX integrates 92 billion transistors inside, and the CPU part has 12 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, and is equipped with a GPU with up to 40 cores, supporting up to 128GB of unified memory.
