M4 Macbook Pro probably announced in October. But aside from AI probably a marginal bump as in previous Apple Silicon revisions. We know this because the M4 is already in the iPad Pro. Note that synthetic benchmarks for M4 chip are deceptive because of inclusion of new matrix instructions which boost specific benches.

Apple M3 Pro Chip, 512 GB, 36GB Unified Memory - shows me $2399 and not $2199. Is it the same for everyone?
They well a 4TB WD for $129
At this point, it's the lowest the 16" has ever been, but we're now about 9 days away from apple's event. I've waited long enough, might just have to wait until then. Maybe this deal will come back again, I just don't know for sure it's good enough to pull trigger.... thoughts?

My two cents is that the M3 Max deal is solid. The M3 Pro deal is great if you don't have an M series Macbook already.
If you're like me and have an M1 Pro currently, either get the M3 Max deal or wait for the M4 Pro announcements.
The M4 MacBook Pros will likely be announced in a mid-late October event.
What's so interesting about these deals are the absolute firesale prices on them. Either there's a real surplus of inventory, or they think the 25% uplift on single-thread from M3 to M4 plus any other changes (base 16GB of ram is 10 years overdue but it sounds like it's finally happening, if Pros go up to 32gb base that would be a huge uplift and differentiator as well) will make M3 stock hard to get rid of.
I got one of these M3s on this sale, most people probably should, but mentally prepare for some M4 benchmarks to be impressive.
