Now packed with 25 billion transistors, five billion more than M2, the Apple M3 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). Now built with 3nm process technology, the Apple M3 delivers the performance you need without sacrificing power efficiency. The 8-Core CPU features four performance cores and four efficiency cores, and is up to 35 percent faster than M1 for CPU performance. The M3 also supports up to 24GB of unified memory.

With a 10-Core GPU, the M3 features Dynamic Caching, which allocates the use of local memory in hardware in real time. Dynamic Caching only uses the exact amount of memory needed for each task, which dramatically increases the average utilization of the GPU, resulting in significant performance increases for the most demanding pro apps and games. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing has arrived for the MacBook Pro. Ray tracing models the properties of light as it interacts with a scene, allowing apps to create extremely realistic and physically accurate images. Additionally, the improved GPU brings hardware-accelerated mesh shading to the MacBook Pro, delivering greater capability and efficiency to geometry processing, and enabling more visually complex scenes in games and graphics-intensive apps.

The MacBook Pro features Wi-Fi 6E for faster wireless connectivity.

The MacBook Pro features a high-fidelity, six-speaker sound system, which has two tweeters for a clearer soundstage as well as four force-cancelling woofers. The sound system also supports spatial audio, providing a three-dimensional audio experience, whether you're listening to music or watching a movie in Dolby Atmos. Apple also has studio microphones that have a lower noise floor, resulting in clear calls as well as voice recordings.

With a Full HD 1080p FaceTime HD camera, the MacBook Pro uses the ISP and Neural Engine in the M3 Pro for computational video that enhances video quality.

The Touch ID enables fast, easy authentication for secure logins and purchases.

From pro workflows to everyday tasks, the MacBook Pro delivers power efficiency while still maintaining performance. The MacBook Pro can deliver up to 22 hours of video playback. The MacBook Pro charges with a 70W USB-C power adapter.
