The M3 family:
The entire special event was filmed on an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. Link here.
- Apple announced three new chips, all under the broader M3 product banner. The current generation of chips is the M2.
- There is an entry-level M3, a 40% faster M3 Pro, and a 250% faster M3 Max chip for AI developers and 3D artists.
- Apple says all M3 chips can get up to 22 hours of battery life on a laptop.
- The M3 has a 8 core central processing unit and up to a 10 core graphics processing unit.
- The M3 Pro has a 12 core CPU and an 18 core GPU.
- The M3 Max has a 16 core CPU and as many as 40 cores on its GPU. Apple says it can be used for developing artificial intelligence software.
- Apple says that its current-generation GPUs are 1.8 times as fast as the GPUs on the M2 chips.
- Apple says its CPU cores on the M3 are 15% faster than M2 CPU performance cores for heavy workloads. The M3 processor is 60% faster than its M1 processor, Apple said.
- The new chips are built on a 3 nanometer process, which is currently the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

From social media after the M3 announcement:
The M3 is way more than what 99% of users need, but they're going to be snapped up by:
- Hollywood directors and producers;
- biomedical researchers; and,
- gamers.
