Apple Launching MacBook Pro
Three nanometer chips from Apple are coming yes. it is
confirmed that they're going into mass production as you see in this
article right here. The only question is which product is going to get the
three nanometer chips first now the whole situation is a little bit
confusing but as I add more and more puzzle pieces together it's starting
to become very clear and I am getting extremely excited so let's dig
right into this as. you can see we just got a report from digital time
saying that tsmc is holding a celebration at the Fab 18 Factory on
December 29th to Mark the start of commercial production of chips using
three nanometer process technology yes they are starting before the new year
and that only means that we're going to be getting some products from Apple
and the reason I know this is because intel was originally supposed to be
using tsmc's three nanometer chip dies for their meteor Lake GPU type aisle
and that was way back on the 23rd of November 2021 but look at this in August
They delayed their order causing tsmc to slow down three nanometer chip expansion
but of course due to today's report yes they are kicking into full gear
this week which is great news but then even worse Intel ended up
canceling the three nanometer chip nodes for their GPU and meteor Lake and
delaying it until the Aero Lake CPUs so this delay is going to be even
longer than we thought because that's only going to be launching in 2024
so of course these three nanometer chips that tsmc is building right now are
not going to Intel at all so the main question is which products or which Apple
products are likely to be the ones that are going to come with these
three nanometer chips well we recently got a report from Mark German the
best apple leaker out there saying that the all-new Mac Pro is still in
testing but the M2 extreme chip is likely canceled which is of course
really really bad news but what this hints at is that the Mac Pro is
getting delayed even further maybe even as late as summer or even later
because I had an interview with Mark German on this channel and that's
exactly what he said he said we might see it all the way as late as the
summer now on top of that a lot of people are going to say that the new
Apple VR headset is going to be coming out early next year with three
nanometer chips which I agree they are going to have three nanometer
chips but we did get a report from Ninjago also a really reliable leaker
early this month saying that the shipments are potentially getting delayed
until the second half of 2023 which means a January event revealing the VR
headset is likely not going to happen and he even said this in a tweet
saying that the time frame between the media event in January and then
shipping all the way in late 2023 is too long because people forget about the
product and it basically slows down the hype so it's not going to be the VR headset
either and that only leaves one thing yes the report that we just got hints
at these chips actually going towards the M2 Pro and Max chips which are
going into the 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pros and I know there's a lot of confusion
about this because due to recent reports a lot of people thought it would
be five nanometer maybe just maybe four nanometer but look at this they're
hinting at three nanometer M2 Pro and Max chips and those leaks and rumors
actually started way back then over half a year ago in June of 2022 we had
reports that tsmc was starting mass production of new three nanometer M2
Pro chips later this year and that was from Jeff poo but not only that we
got another one from taiwan's commercial times once again saying three
nanometer M2 Pro chip for the MacBook Pro entering production later this
year which those three nanometer chips just entered production or they are
this week so what if we were right all along through all these crazy leaks
and rumors and delays and everything going on recession what if Apple
actually is giving us three nanometer M2 Pro and Max chips well that's
exactly what we are going to get into right now showing off the rest of
the evidence check this out recently December 18th Mark German said that ne
Macbook Pro Models are going to be launching an early 2023 which only
points at Apple's annual March event which they almost always have one in
March and there's almost always Max at that event and I think that's the
exact event that the new Macbook Pro is going to be coming and then we
also had this report of two unreleased Macs spotted in esteems data based
December 10th and one of those is a Mac with the M2 Max chip. which was already
leaked which I'm going to show you in a second and then an undisclosed
chip. which I believe of course is the M2 Pro and because we're getting
these leaks at this time it shows is that these products are shipping very
soon and now let's get into the benchmarks because we got some awesome
leaked M2 Max benchmarks and they're actually really really good check
this out 2027 single core which means we're finally over 2 000 this is
gonna be a really good Improvement and 14 888 for the multi-core which is
decent it's not that great it's not what I expected but it's still a
decent Improvement but the shocking thing in these benchmarks is that the
clock speed of the M2 Max chip was 3.68 gigahertz and that is a lot
because right now the M2 Chip is only around 3.5 3.49 and this is a jump
above and it's interesting because the entire M1 family was stuck at the
same 3.2 gigahertz but this time around it looks like the M2 is going to
be different from the M2 Max and that actually hints at the technology
being different as well and the thing that interested me the most is that
the brand new a16 bionic chip built on the four nanometer chip process
from tsmc which some thought would be coming to the M2 Pro and Max chips
it only runs at 3.46 gigahertz essentially pretty close to 3.5 but
these new benchmarks are showing 3.68 which is a further Improvement
hinting at potential three nanometer chip technology now the last thing I
want to mention and get into is a very interesting report that we've recently
had about the iPhone 14 pro and its a16 chip if you watched my recent post
that I made about it you'll see that the GPU has barely changed it's essentially
unchanged in real world benchmarks and tests and that's because they were planning
for a Next Generation GPU that's totally redesigned and much faster but
they ended up scrapping it and going back to the old design which is why
we have barely any change at at all so my thought is what if this brand new
GPU design got delayed but it's still going to show up and the M2 Pro and
M2 Max and hopefully also on three nanometers so I'm so happy that we
just got the support because it confirms that tsmc is pumping out these
chips and they're pumping it out for a very specific important product and
as Apple's other products are getting delayed it only makes sense that
they're going to come into these new 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro so if you
completely disagree with me let me know in the comment section below or
stay connected.
