Apple has just announced two new additions to its M-series chips during its “Scary Fast” event: the M3 Pro and M3 Max. These chips are designed to offer even more performance and efficiency compared to the M3 for creative professionals and other power users.
The M3 Pro and M3 Max chips are built on a new 3nm process, which allows Apple to pack more transistors into a smaller die. The M3 Pro features up to 37 billion transistors, while the M3 Max features up to 92 billion transistors.
This results in dramatically improved performance and efficiency. For example, the M3 Pro now features up to a 12-core CPU and a 18-core GPU, while the M3 Max features new configurations of up to a 16-core CPU and a 40-core GPU. Both chips also support up to 36GB of unified memory for the M3 Pro and 128GB of unified memory for the M3 Max.

Apple says that the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips offer significant performance improvements over their predecessors. For example, the M3 Pro is said to be up to 10% faster than the M2 Pro, and the M3 Max is said to be up to 20% faster than the M2 Max.
In addition to their performance improvements, the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips also offer a number of other features, including a faster 16-core Neural Engine and the GPU is using a new technique called Dynamic Caching.
The M3 Pro and M3 Max chips will be available in the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
