Apple will work on a new MacBook Air model with a processor, also known as a chipset, from the high-end M3 series. The report comes just days after the Cupertino giant unveiled the new 15-inch MacBook Air with the M2 processor at WWDC 2023.
Apparently, the technology has a strong reception of the new laptop model and it will already be preparing the next generation of the brand’s most affordable computer.
It is one of the most sought after due to its quality/price ratio, especially now that we have two useful and productive sizes available on the market.
M3 chipset coming to Apple MacBook Air computers
At present, we remind you, the new 15-inch Apple MacBook Air with M2 chipset is the world’s thinnest 15-inch notebook at 11.5mm thick. However, its successor will already be on the table of American technology, with the processor being the main point to consider.
The information is now advanced by the technological journalist of the Bloomberg agency, gurman branda regular source of news about Tim Cook’s company.
Apparently, the iPhone maker will soon also start producing the next MacBook Air with the next generation of Apple M3 processors. The new 3nm chipsets will already be present inside.
Apparently, given the report, the new laptop will arrive only in 2024, with no precise date at the moment, according to the information available.
However, if history repeats itself and the brand maintains its release schedule, then it is likely that this renewed laptop will be announced during WWDC 2024.
Apple M3 chipset will use 3nm lithography
In summary, the M3 processors are the successors of the current M2. They bring various performance and power efficiency improvements largely due to their 3nm lithography based on the TSMC process.
Therefore, the 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch MacBook Air notebooks are expected to use these processors in a base configuration of 8 cores or eight cores. In addition, it will have up to 10 cores for its integrated graphics, or GPU.
Furthermore, Gurman stated that Apple is also developing a new model of iMac with M3 chipset. It will have a form factor similar to the current M1 iMac model, with a larger screen and the next-generation processor.
Finally, Apple’s next big launch will take place next September with the arrival of the iPhone 15.
