Damn Apple.
I would expect those machines should have launched earlier than they did: everything was pushed back as a result of supply chain issues.
I am making assumptions here but I’ve heard similar speculation from several places.
Do we have a m3 air now? I can’t find it. I was planning to buy m2 air but now we have m3 so probably best to wait ?
Not yet, it’s just the MacBook Pro and iMac for now
pity qualcomm has just wiped the floor with them. even with the new M3 it’s not even close I believe. please correct me if I’m wrong (who am I kidding you’re gunna correct me)

the snapdragon X Elite beats the M2 by 50% so you’re wrong and it beats the M2 Max in single core too. and does so with 40% less power.
It’s likely the M3 will rival it but it will be close by the looks of it.
Also you’re wrong.

I’m just going on what’s been reported. I believe they were running benchmarks against the M2. and we have M3 specs so it’s reasonable to make guesses. I never said it wipes the floor with the M3. it definitely does toc the standard M2, of which you seemed confidently incorrect about.
Maybe you just angry with something and aren’t reading what I’ve written?
anyway we’ll find out soon enough.

I was kinda bored for this announcement. I have a M2 Pro MBP for work and I really have no desire to get anything faster.
I was hoping for a new iPad Mini announcement
What is “dynamic caching”? The article mentions that iris new, but nothing more.
Based on my 60 seconds reading on it, onboard GPUs typically share the systems RAM. It is usually a fixed amount from my understanding. Dynamic caching seems to allow the GPU to only consume what it needs. Without knowing more, I’m guessing this means it frees up more RAM for the system instead of holding a fixed chunk in reserve for the GPU, or, on the other side, allows the GPU to use more RAM than some predetermined fixed amount.
According to Apple’s press release, the GPUs in the new Macs are already faster and more efficient than those that came before them. But they go further thanks to their support for Dynamic Caching, a feature that “unlike traditional GPUs, allocates the use of local memory in hardware in real time.”
What does that mean? Apple says that “with Dynamic Caching, only the exact amount of memory needed is used for each task. This is an industry first, transparent to developers, and the cornerstone of the new GPU architecture.”
