Game-changing graphics performance.
CPU
Hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
For the first time, MacBook Pro features hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Combined with the new graphics architecture, it enables pro apps to deliver up to two and a half times faster rendering performance and allows games to provide more realistic shadows and reflections.
Next-generation CPU cores drive a super responsive experience while maintaining incredible power efficiency.
An enhanced 16-core Neural Engine accelerates popular machine learning models. Image processing tools like DeNoise AI and Gigapixel AI from Topaz get even faster.
Three giant leaps.
M3
M3 brings serious speed and capability to blaze through everyday activities, multitask across apps and video calls, and tackle next-level content in pro apps and games.
Slack, Safari, Zoom
- 8‑core
CPU - 10‑core
GPU - Up to 24GB unified memory
M3 compared to previous MacBook Pro models.
M3 Pro
Building on M3, the M3 Pro chip features more CPU and GPU cores and additional unified memory, driving even greater performance for those with more demanding workflows like researchers, coders, and creative pros. So stitching together and manipulating gigantic gigapixel panorama images or compiling millions of lines of code is even faster.
Adobe After Effects

12‑core CPU - Up to
18‑core GPU - Up to 36GB unified memory
M3 Pro compared to previous MacBook Pro models.
M3 Max
M3 Max brings massive performance and capabilities for those with the most extreme workflows, featuring even more CPU and GPU cores, enormous unified memory, and additional Media Engine resources. It pushes the limits of what a computer can do — in the studio or on location. Intricate 3D rendering, video post-production on the highest-resolution content, developing transformer models with billions of parameters — the most intensive workflows become an absolute breeze.
DaVinci Resolve Studio
- Up to
16‑core CPU - Up to
40‑core GPU - Up to 128GB unified memory
M3 Max compared to previous MacBook Pro models.
Faster render performance in Redshift23
Faster simulation of dynamical systems in MATLAB24
Faster image processing performance in Affinity Photo 225
Faster 3D volume load in Horos MD26
Faster text-based editing in Premiere Pro27
Faster filter and function performance in Photoshop28
Faster noise reduction performance in DaVinci Resolve Studio29
Battery
We can do this all day.
MacBook Pro has the longest battery life ever in a Mac — up to 22 hours. That efficiency is the magic of Apple silicon. And all models remain just as fast whether plugged in or not. So wherever inspiration strikes or whenever duty calls, run with it.
Apps
Amps up apps.
With thousands of apps optimized to unlock the full power of macOS and Apple silicon, M3 chips accelerate performance like never before. Now apps just soar — from your go-to productivity apps to your favorite games and hardest-working pro apps.
Xcode, Unity Editor, Create ML, TensorFlow, PyTorch, NAG Fortran Compiler, Docker, IntelliJ, and more.

The best display
ever in a laptop.
Extreme Dynamic Range lets you maintain extreme brightness for HDR content, delivering outstanding contrast between the brightest brights and the blackest blacks. And now SDR content is displayed up to 20 percent brighter.
ProMotion makes everything from scrolling to gaming superfluid and responsive, automatically adjusting to match the movement of content — with refresh rates up to 120Hz. Video editors can also choose a fixed refresh rate that precisely aligns with their footage.
