Apple's 3nm MacBooks With M3 Chips Delayed to 2024

Apple will reportedly release its first 3nm MacBooks in 2024, not this year as rumored. The new MacBooks will feature the M3 chip.

DigiTimes forecasts notebook shipments will grow 4.7% in 2024 thanks to easing inflation and new products like 3nm MacBooks.

Apple analysts previously said new MacBooks with M3 chips were possible in late 2022, but now believe 2023 is more likely.

The M3 chip is expected to bring performance improvements over M2 thanks to TSMC's 3nm process. It may also feature new GPU hardware ray-tracing.

Rumors suggest a new iMac, 13" MacBook Air, and 13" MacBook Pro will be first to get M3 chips, but a 2022 MacBook Pro refresh is also rumored.
