Kuo: 2024 MacBook Pro Models to Feature 3nm M3 Pro and M3 Max Chips

[MacRumors]

Though Apple just refreshed the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models this morning, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is already sharing details about next-generation models. Kuo believes 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros coming in 2024 will feature M3 Pro and M3 Max chips that are built on TSMC's 3-nanometer process.

MacBook Pro models with the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips will go into mass production in the first half of 2024, according to Kuo.

Apple chip maker TSMC began mass production on next-generation 3-nanometer chips in late December. The 3nm technology will offer improved performance and better power efficiency compared to the current chips manufactured on a 5-nanometer process, including the M2 Pro and M2 Max that were introduced today.

With mass production kicking off on the next-generation MacBook Pro models in the first half of 2024, we could see an announcement sometime between spring and WWDC of next year, though there's still plenty of time for Apple to tweak its future release plans.

Kuo is the gift who keeps on giving

 

[Lounge vibes 05]

Yep, and more than likely the iPhone 15 Pro/Ultra with the A17 will be the only 2023 3NM product.

 

[jz0309]

I fully agree, couldn’t have said it better myself…
Of course the next gen will be new node, sadly he is not telling us which node, because he doesn’t know…

 

[UltimateSyn]

Everybody CANCEL YOUR M2 PRO ORDERS!!!! 🤣

Kidding, really. New ones are awesome and sounds like the next ones will be too. Glad that they're establishing a (nearly) yearly cadence for these. I think they're my favorite Apple product.

 

[Kylo83]

anyone can guess next year it was be m3 pro and max lol

 

[jz0309]

Yep, and more than likely the iPhone 15 Pro/Ultra with the A17 will be the only 2023 3NM product.

We’re only a few weeks into 2023, maybe 3nm is coming to the biggest rumor if the year, the goggles

 

[aheze]

Don't think I can wait another year

…and the sky is blue.

 

[SW3029]

My man Kuo always being a buzz killer on any new product launch day

 

[kiranmk2]

This should be a big performance boost - I can't imagine the battery life of a MacBook needs extending that much

 

[Spock]

I expect that the MacBook Pro will get another update in the future, it's just that simple.

 

[Realityck]

It’s scary when whatever you buy might be eclipsed in an another year. Get use to Apple releasing Mac products more often.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Thank you Mr. Kuo. going to wait for this MacBook Pro. 2024. Can't wait for the 3NM chip. Let's get it!

Don't think I can wait another year

I suspect a late 2024 release around Oct or later. You will be waiting around 18 months or longer.

How comes he hasn’t been quietly taken out by Tim cooks secret militia for all the constant leaks? He clearly has someone on the inside leaning all their Intel

 

[Pezimak]

I’d say this news is a bit like water is wet. I’d bet the iMac is the first with the M3 too.

 

[code-m]

Thank you, Kuo. going to wait for this MacBook Pro. 2024. Can't wait for the 3NM chip. Let's get it!

I suspect late 2024 so you are looking at an approximate 18 months or longer if there is some delay.

 

[Cristim74]

Wow, what a surprise! I could have guesses that myself.

 

[ninethirty]

Meh. Waiting for 1nm.

 

[triton100]

Thank you Mr. Kuo. going to wait for this MacBook Pro. 2024. Can't wait for the 3NM chip. Let's get it!

Will probably be released the end of 2024 November. Not sure I could wait two years for this juicy piece of delicious tech. I may have to buy todays release to tide me over.

[jayryco]

These analysts mannnnnnnn They really just throwing predictions around like crazy

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Will probably be released the end of 2024 November. Not sure I could wait two years for this juicy piece of delicious tech. I may have to buy todays release to tide me over.

Well in that case.. better to wait for the MacBook Air 15" (Midnight) model which will be released this year.

 

[Realityck]

I’d say this news is a bit like water is wet. I’d bet the iMac is the first with the M3 too.

Can’t wait to see that happen. Even if it’s only a M3 Pro.
