Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens, soft media new friends 1933769, South China Daniel Wu for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com May 3 news, according to the latest news, Apple originally planned to launch new MacBook and iPad with M3 chip this year, but due to insufficient production capacity of TSMC's 3nm process, the delivery of M3 chip was delayed until next year, which is disappointing news for Apple users looking forward to upgrading their devices.

The M3 chip is the next generation processor developed by Apple and will be manufactured by TSMC's 3nm process. It is expected that the performance and power consumption of the M3 chip will be significantly higher than that of the current M2 chip. The M3 chip will first be used on MacBook and iPad to bring users a smoother experience and longer battery life. It is reported that Apple had planned to launch a number of devices with M3 chips this year, including the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, the newly designed MacBook Air in two sizes, and the iPad Pro with OLED screen next year.

However, TSMC encountered some technical difficulties in the 3nm process, resulting in substandard production and unable to meet Apple's needs. According to Twitter whistleblower Revegnus, Apple has decided to postpone the launch of the M3 chip until next year, which means there will not be any Mac or iPad with the M3 chip this year.

Of course, that doesn't mean Apple doesn't have new products to push this year. Apple will also release the iPhone 15 series with A17 bionic chips this year, which is also made using TSMC's 3nm process, but because iPhone is Apple's most important product line, selling far more than Mac and iPad, Apple may give priority to ensuring the supply of A17 bionic chips at the expense of the progress of M3 chips.

It is suggested that the news be treated with caution. After all, it is only a rumor and has not been officially confirmed. Maybe TSMC will increase its 3nm production capacity in the second half of the year, and maybe Apple will have other strategies to deal with it. CTOnews.com will continue to follow the news and bring the latest report in time.
