Apple product analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the next-generation 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro will Prepare to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of this year!
And the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros may still have the 5nm chip, according to a recent TSMC report.
Meanwhile, Taiwan’s Commercial Times said the M2 Pro chip could be Apple’s first 3nm chip. Which anyone who has read from both sources would be confused a bit.
But from TSMC’s clear report on chip manufacturing, It should be enough to confirm that Will start planning to produce 3nm chips for Apple in the future. Making us have to wait and see again which MacBook models will come to see each other.
As Mark Gurman from Bloomberg once said, Apple is working on the M2 MacBook Pro, Mac mini and Mac Pro.
It’s based on the current 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models released in October of last year, along with the 5nm M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.
Therefore, it is expected that in the fourth quarter of this year, the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro will enter mass production with 5nm chips, and in the second half of this year, TSMC will start 3nm production for Apple.
New 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro with new processors will enter mass production in 4Q22. Given TSMC’s guidance that the 3nm will contribute revenue starting in 1H23, processors of 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro models may still adopt the 5nm advanced node.
