The new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in the new MacBook Pro models are based on a 5nm process.

— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) January 17, 2023 While there are some improvements in the M2 Pro and M2 Max, 3nm M3 Pro and M3 Max chips will deliver significant improvements in performance and battery life. It has been reported that mass production of next-generation MacBook Pro models will begin in the first half of 2024. What this means is that the company could put the launch time frame between the Spring and WWDC event in June of 2024. Take note that these are mere speculations at this point and the final word rests with Apple. Henceforth, the company could potentially see fit to tweak the design of the next-gen MacBook Pro models and the time of launch. The latest MacBook Pro models came with the same design as that of the 2021 model, and only the intervals have been tweaked. We are yet to see the real-world usage and performance, so be sure to stick around. We will share in-depth comparisons soon. Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
