M3 Pro/Max
The M3 Pro and M3 Max silicon are used in place of the M3 chip in the 16-inch Macbook Pro model. It should be noted that the 3-nanometer technology powers the whole M3 chip series.
This 16-inch guy’s M3 Pro version has an 18-core GPU and 12-core CPU with two different memory configurations: 18GB RAM + 512GB SSD and 36GB RAM + 512GB SSD. In the meantime, there are two versions of the top-tier M3 Max: a 14-core CPU with a 30-core GPU and a 16-core CPU with a 40-core GPU. You have a choice between 36GB + 1TB and 48GB + 1TB for memory as well. Furthermore, up to 128GB of RAM can be configured in the M3 Max model. However, variable storage choices up to 8TB are supported by all models.
The MacBook Pro M3 Max is promised to outperform MacBook Pro models with Intel chipsets by a whopping 11 times, and it will outperform the MacBook Pro with the M1 Max by 2.5 times. To further strengthen its machine learning capabilities, Apple has also integrated an upgraded neural engine.
More Enhanced & Powerful Graphics
In addition to improved CPU performance, hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading—firsts for Apple silicon—provide a major boost to the GPU component. Gamers can breathe a large sigh of relief and rejoice at this wonderful news! It also facilitates Dynamic Caching, which guarantees effective RAM allotment for the GPU.
