About Apple 14" MacBook Pro with M3 Pro Chip, Late 2023
Mind-blowing. Head-turning.
Get the highlights.
• The most advanced chips ever built for a personal computer
• Up to 22 hours of battery life for the ultimate in pro portability
• The world's best laptop display. Brilliant in every way
• A pro laptop without equal. Now in a new color: Space Black
Take a closer look.
Explore the full story.
MacBook Pro blasts forward with the M3 Pro chip. Built on 3-nanometer technology and featuring an all-new GPU architecture, they're the most advanced chips ever built for a personal computer. And each one brings more pro performance and capability.
M3 Pro
Building on M3, the M3 Pro chip features more CPU and GPU cores and additional unified memory, driving even greater performance for those with more demanding workflows like researchers, coders, and creative pros. So stitching together and manipulating gigantic gigapixel panorama images or compiling millions of lines of code is even faster.
• Up to 12-core CPU
• Up to 18-core GPU
• Up to 36GB unified memory
• Supports up to two external displays
• Up to 5.7x faster than Intel-based model
• Up to 2.4x faster than M1 Pro model
Game-changing graphics performance.
Behold an entirely new class of GPU architecture. And the biggest breakthrough in graphics yet for Apple silicon. Dynamic Caching optimizes fast on-chip memory to dramatically increase average GPU utilization - driving a huge performance boost for the most demanding pro apps and games.
Games will look more detailed than ever thanks to hardware-accelerated mesh shading. This brings greater capability and efficiency to geometry processing, enabling games to render more visually complex scenes.
• Up to 2.5x faster rendering than 14-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max
Hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
For the first time, MacBook Pro features hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Combined with the new graphics architecture, it enables pro apps to deliver up to two and a half times faster rendering performance and allows games to pro

Why the fark did Apple decide to :
1. Remove the thunderbolt port on the right side?
2. Reduce the memory bandwidth on all but the most expensive configuration?
3. Reduce the number of performance cores and gpu cores?
4. Not improve on external monitor resolution support?
And this is after the significant price increase for the more advanced models. Sigh!
The thunderbolt port on the right is only removed on the M3 machine, not the M3 Pro or M3 Max. The performance CPU and GPU cores were reduced in the M3 Pro configurations, but were both increased in the M3 Max configurations. The price was increased (relative to the M2 spec for spec) only for the M3 Max, it was actually reduced for the M3 Pro relative to the M2 Pro. The price adjustments are in line with what they did with the M3 Pro (decrease performance and GPU cores) and M3 Max (increase performance and GPU cores) chips respectively.
I think clearly what Apple intended here was to widen the difference between the M3 Pro and Max to make it more worth it to more people to upgrade to the M3 Max. Before, the CPU cores were the same between the M2 Pro unbinned chip and the M2 Max, so unless you needed the extra GPU cores or the higher max memory, there was no reason to upgrade. This year, it looks like the M3 Pro is more of a side grade to the M2 Pro (better more efficient 3nm chipset evened out by less performance cores) while they improved the M3 Max relative to the M2 Max a decent amount.
Not saying I agree with what Apple did or that I'm defending their new chip designs, just stating what I think Apple's doing.
I get the $1799 price when logged in, all the way through checkout. AppleCare is a waste for me. Been buying Macs since 2009 and have never filed a warranty claim or had a failure — and I'm not careless with my expensive toys. Besides, my CC will give me an extra year warranty anyway.
Wonder if this will have the nerfed ssd speed since it is only 512GB.
ya wait for review first, can't trust apple for anything. they already nerfed memory bandwidth to be lower than that of M1 Pro and M2 Pro, now sitting at only 150Gb/s, it was 200Gb/s.
Great deal, but honestly, can't see any reason to upgrade form my MacBook pro 14 M1 Pro/16GB/512GB. Never even come close to bogging this laptop down (typing on it now). I'd say anyone jumping on one of these M3 Pro machines probably has a great laptop for a good 5+ years if they're computing needs aren't crazy.

Considering how much RAM is available for laptop these days and how fast SSDs have become, a lot of people are trying to find an excuse, any excuse, to upgrade from their old computers. I have a 2018 Lenovo Thinkpad that I want to upgrade from but it's still so fast that I can't justify it. Even the fastest laptops today wouldn't impress me unless I'm doing some serious computational work. Computers these days are just too good.

These are supposed to have 2 chips this time but we will see. Also this has one less Performance Core and One more Efficiency Core than the previous M2 Pro also the memory bandwidth is slower. But you gain ray tracing and AV1 decoding so it's a mixed downgrade and upgrade from the M2. Test should be coming tomorrow after the embargo lifts. So order and can always cancel if the reviews are lack luster. I personally am keeping my M1 Pro 1TB deal from last week's post and waiting for about 6 months and picking up a Refurbished M3 Max when they hit the stock piles. Cheers!
