- cubefox 3y agoThat would explain it. Reduced chip size, presumably due to increase in price per transistor. But do you have evidence for this theory?
- deagle50 3y agoWhy else go through the trouble of a custom layout for the M3 Pro with multiple custom reductions (caches, vector units, cores, memory controllers) vs lopping off half of the Max GPU like in the two previous generations?
