In his latest “Power On” newsletter, here are the M3-x processors that Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is expecting to be unveiled at Monday’s “Scary Fast” event:
° M3: The central processing unit will boast eight cores (four for handling high-performance tasks and four efficiency cores focused on background functions) and as many as 10 cores for processing graphics. That matches the counts of the M2, but the M3 will likely support improved memory configurations and get far faster performance from each core.
° M3 Pro: This chip has been tested in multiple configurations, including one with 12 CPU cores (six for performance and six for efficiency) and 18 graphics cores. Higher-end versions of the M3 Pro are likely to get 14 CPU cores and 20 graphics cores.
° M3 Max: This chip has also been tested in different configurations, including one with 16 CPU cores (12 for performance and four for efficiency) and a whopping 40 graphics cores. There also was a less powerful version that had a still-ginormous 32 graphics cores.
The prerecorded “Scary Fast” will be held on Monday, October 30, at 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
