This is the first batch of Macs to include Apple&#8217;s next-generation M3-series chips, and unlike past years, Apple is introducing multiple M3 performance tiers all at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>The M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max all share the same underlying CPU and GPU architectures, the same ones used in the iPhone 15 Pro&#8217;s A17 Pro chip. Also like the A17 Pro, all M3 chips are manufactured using a new 3 nm process from Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC).
