Apple yesterday announced its new M3 chipset. The announcement came only 15 months after the announcement of its previous chip family, the M2, in June 2022.
That’s four months faster than the M2 announcement, which came 19 months after the M1 was announced in November 2020.
Breaking with tradition, Apple also announced an entire chip family, consisting of the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. The high-end double-chip Ultra model has only been announced for the M1.
