Intro to M3 MacBook Pro Released
The latest Apple M3 chipsets on MacBook Pro boast rendering speeds up to 2.5x faster than the M1 chips. Its CPU performance cores are 30% faster, efficiency cores 50% faster and the Neural Engine 60% faster than those in the M1. Apple reports that the M3 now supports up to 128GB of Unified Memory Architecture.
The M3 introduces a next-gen GPU, promising significant graphical improvements for Mac. It supports ray tracing and debuts Dynamic Catching, optimizing memory usage for each task.
The M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max offer remarkable performance upgrades over prior Apple Silicon generations. These chipsets will feature in updated Pro models and the base M3 will be part of refreshed 24” iMac models.
What is Dynamic Catching
Apple highlights that the M3 utilises Dynamic Caching, unlike conventional GPU chips, which dynamically allocates local memory in real-time. According to Apple, this method ensures the precise amount of memory needed for a specific task, minimizing any wastage.
Apple identifies this as an industry first, marking it as the foundation of the new GPU architecture introduced by the M3-series chips. Apple affirms that this feature remains entirely transparent to developers and significantly enhances the average GPU utilization. As a result, there are notable performance enhancements, particularly with the most demanding apps and games.
M3 MacBook Pro & iMac Processor Released
At present, Apple has launched the latest M3 processor in the MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models. Additionally, the iMac has transitioned from the M1 to the M3 processor. For further details on features and technical specifications, click here for the MacBook Pro and here for the iMac.
Do you really need the M3 Processor?
If you watched the Apple Scary Fast Event, you would have noticed their repeated emphasis on stepping up from Intel-based computers.
What’s the reason for this emphasis? Well, if you’re transitioning from an Intel-based processor Mac or a Windows PC, you’ll immediately observe a substantial boost in speed, performance, loading times and overall usage experience.
However, if you’re upgrading from M1 or M2 Macs, you won’t notice a significant difference, perhaps just a tiny split-second variance, which, in our view, isn’t substantial enough to justify spending a few thousand ringgit.

Our Advice on M3 MacBook Pro & iMac
If you primarily use your Mac for internet browsing, movie streaming, paperwork and light work, sticking with your current Mac is advisable. However, if your Mac is more than 10 years old or encountering issues, the M2 MacBook Air might be the best choice, as the M1 is already quite powerful. The standard spec M1 with 8GB RAM is adequate for your basic daily needs.
On the other hand, if you’re a professional user involved in coding, design, and audio or video production, consider transitioning to the M3 range and selecting specifications that align with your budget. It’s worth noting that the entry-level M3 processor can connect to one external display, the M3 Pro to two external monitors, while the M3 Max can support up to four external displays.
Pro Tip on M3 MacBook Pro & M3 iMac
As you’re ready to invest thousands or even tens of thousands of ringgit into the new M3 Macs, acquiring Apple Care is an absolute must. It doesn’t matter if you highly trust Apple’s quality or have immense confidence in it. Apple Care serves as a safety net (insurance) that is relatively affordable compared to paying the full repair price. For further information on Apple Care, click here.
