During Apple‘s latest product launch event, the company introduced a new range of chips for personal computers, featuring the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max.

These chips are integrated into the recently revealed 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro laptops, with the basic variant also powering the 24″ iMac. More detailed information about these products is available in a separate article.

The key improvement in these chips lies in their GPU, which is tailored to boost the performance of professional applications and gaming. These chips notably introduce support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading, marking a groundbreaking milestone for Apple’s silicon. Moreover, Apple takes the lead by being the first to utilize a 3nm manufacturing process for personal computer chips.
