I thought TSMC is taking 3nm to volume production starting Q4 22/Q1 23. Why would the 3nm mac processor be on hold until 2024?

- rcarr 4y agoI don’t think personally they will make the M2 Pro and Max MacBook Pros as 3nm as they’re due next month. I think you might see an M2 Ultra chip at 3nm for the new Mac Pro. I think they’ll wait a year before they release new M3 MacBook Airs and Pros which means you won’t see them appear until either end of 2023 or sometime in 2024. We might even end up in an odd situation where the iPad Pro gets the M3 before the laptops. Could be completely wrong though, just my speculation.
- virgildotcodes 4y agoI think because they haven't even announced the M2 14 and 16 inch Macbook Pros yet, which would be on TSMC 5nm like the rest of the M2s. Not to mention the mac mini, studio, and pro. It would just seem kind of weird for them to announce an M3 on 3nm within the next 14 months given that.
