Apple supplier TSMC will start producing 3nm chips this week; one of these must be the M2 Pro that will equip the new MacBook Pro
A TSMC extension, one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, is expected to begin manufacturing 3nm processors later this week. One of the first chips expected to take advantage of this is the Apple M2 Pro, which is expected to be inside future 2023 MacBook Pros.
The information comes from the website Digitimes, which points out that TSMC should finally begin mass production of its new generation of the 3nm process. Apparently, the prediction is that this will happen tomorrow, December 29th.
Rumors indicated that it would start production by the end of 2022, which it indeed will – despite this, there was an expectation that this it started in September.
Supposedly, a ceremony will be held at Fab 18, one of the company’s large factories, to mark the start of commercial production of chips using the 3nm technology.
A major trading partner, and one that has been looking forward to it, is Applewhich should reveal an update to the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, as well as the new Mac Mini, with the M2 Pro chip, potentially the brand’s first with this feature.
Currently, Apple uses chips made with the 4 nm process in its devices, as is the case with the A16 Bionic featured in the iPhone 14Pro. There are already rumors that mention a A17 Bionic for iPhone 15 Pro that will take advantage of the technology. In addition, the alleged Apple M3, for other future MacBooks, is also expected to use the 3nm process.
