    What process node will the M3 chip use?

    So far, Apple's chips have used the following process nodes: A14/M1 - N5 A15/M2 - N5P A16 - N4, because TSMC's N3B node was not ready in time TSMC's N3 nodes are now ready, and there are two nodes at play, N3B and N3E. Nothing I've read has been clear on which node will be used for the M3...

    Nobody’s Talking About the M2 Mac Mini

    With Gurman and others expecting new Macs as early as this month, a lot of attention has been focused towards the updated M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. These will undeniably be the showstoppers of any possible event (or press releases), but I have a suspicion that if the Mac Mini is getting an...

    The future of the Apple Silicon based Mac Pro

    High-end workstations like HP Z8 G4 and Z6 G4 uses dual Xeons "Xeon Scalable processors". I hope Apple will follow the same trend, but it could increase the latency a little bit.
