Mass production of Apple M2 Pro will start at the end of 2022. The chips will be manufactured using a 3nm process technology. At the WWDC 2022 presentation, Apple introduced the new Apple M2 system-on-a-chip. Of course, the company does not plan to stop at one system and will continue to present chipsets and more powerful computers.

According to a new report, TSMC, a Taiwanese manufacturer and one of Apple’s main partners, will launch production of M2 Pro and M2 Max systems-on-a-chip later this year.
Most importantly, the chipsets will be manufactured using the 3nm process technology. Apple will be the first company in the market to begin the transition to 3nm. Intel and AMD will be catching up.
The first computer with the Apple M2 Pro may be an updated Mac mini. Apple will also start production of 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, but they will go on sale later in 2023.
The Apple M2 Max system-on-a-chip will increase the number of cores: 12 CPU cores and 38 GPU cores compared to 10 CPU cores and 32 GPU cores in the M1 Max. The transition to the 3nm process technology is not only about performance, but also about energy efficiency. Laptops will last longer, or they can be made thinner, while maintaining autonomy.
