m3 chip

From the announcement of iPad Pros today, M4 also launched on my months after M3. Most comparisons were with M2 iPads but a couple things I tease apart: - 2nd gen 3nm (N3E?) - “new display engine enables stunning precision, color, and brightness” - Neural cores: 18 vs 38 TOPS On device AI is...

Hey all, I'm curious how hibernate works on the MacBook Pros... I'm used to Windows reserving the amount of RAM in Gigabytes on the SSD, so that it can copy the content from the RAM to the SSD when hibernating. How does that work on the MacBook Pros / in MacOs? I'm about to buy a MacBook Pro...

Hello all, I just recently downloaded iStatistica to monitor some things on my new M3 air and I found that the CPU temps on all the cores stay low in temp except for core 6. On core 6 there is often times spikes up to 70 deg c while the others remain around 40 deg c. This can be while I am...

Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to read my first thread. I am currently looking for a new MacBook Pro, and would like some input on my options. I pre-ordered the new 16in M3 PRO MBP with 18GB of RAM, 512GB SSD in black ($2500, top of my budget), but just saw a post on marketplace for...

Is anyone aware of any benchmarks/stats on the specific wattage for the different SSD configurations on silicon MBPs? Would like to know the power usage numbers comparing 1TB -> 2TB -> 4TB -> 8TB Would also be great to know if there are any stats on battery life per configuration.

Something tells me that the new magic, keyboard, trackpad, and mouse with USB-C that we were expecting with the new iMac is going to be released alongside the new Mac mini with the M3 chip. Of course, Apple will announce it alongside their desktop that doesn’t come with any mouse and keyboard to...

That's essentially how my chat sales support went down this evening. What a pile of crap. Add this to other frustrations: 8 core, 11 core, 12 core, 14 core, or 16 core CPU? 10 core, 14 core, 18 core, 30 core, or 40 core GPU? 8GB, 16GB, 18GB, 24GB, 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB RAM? And you...

Given the recent rumors on Apple releasing the M3 chip at the same time as M3 Pro and M3 Max, I believe this indicates that Apple is going to upgrade the M-series chips on a yearly basis from now on. Yearly upgrades may give Apple a continuum leading on benchmarks on any given quarter, as Intel...

If you follow aaronp613's X/Twitter, as I'm sure MacRumors editors do, you may have seen this post from him that quotes a post from Orangera1n. Said post contains a screenshot of a list of numbers that supposedly confirms Apple is working on A-series chips up to the A19 and M-series chips up to...

Hi! I know there are no guarantees, but based on the normal progression of these chips, do you feel the regular M3 chip will be faster than than the M2 Pro? My two options are getting a Mac Mini with the M2 Pro or waiting for an iMac with an M3 if/when it comes out (I'd prefer an iMac with the...
