Apple’s new MacBook Pro debuted, with 14 and 16 inches replaced with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. However, the new machine has just been released, and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo immediately brought news of the next generation in 2024, saying that it will upgrade TSMC’s 3nm process.

Last year, it was rumored that the M2 Pro and M2 Max might be Apple's first TSMC 3nm chips, but this was not the case in the end. The new M2 Pro and M2 Max were unveiled last night (17th), and it was confirmed that they would use TSMC's 5nm chips.
