Apple has announced a refresh to the MacBook Pro that makes it even more powerful and difficult to challenge.
Apple announced an update to its MacBook Pros at today’s Scary Fast event that brings the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max under the hood. That might sound like a ho-hum generational chip refresh, especially coming just 10 months after the M2 Pro/Max models came out. But trust me — these new MacBook Pros have become an unstoppable force, especially the new full-tilt model with the M3 Max.
But let’s talk more in-depth about this M3 Max configuration, because it sounds absolutely ridiculous. It comes with up to a 16-core CPU, split between eight performance cores and eight efficiency cores. This is four more cores than in the M2 Max. The top-end configuration also comes with an option for a 40-core GPU, two more than what was available in the previous generation.
I received an early look at the capabilities of the new GPU architecture a number of demos, starting with the game Lies of P. With Game Mode and MetalFX Upscaling on, the game played at around 65 frames per second on the base M3 on a 14-inch MacBook Pro. Mind you, this was at max settings on an unplugged machine with very little fan noise.
