people have been calling apple's 14 and 16 inch macbook pros the best laptops
ever made and we just got some new bombshell leaks pointing to apple
updating these systems sooner and even better than a lot of people are
expecting and i'm gonna dig into all those leaks and my reasoning for why
these new macbook pros are gonna have three nanometer chips yes three
nanometer not five nanometer like a lot of people are expecting and i'm gonna
prove it to you in this video now it all starts with mark german who is by far
the most reliable apple leaker out there he has a ton of leaks and an 86.5
accuracy rating for those leaks now recently he tweeted out that apple's
september event is happening on september 7th with new iphones and
devices coming out on september 16th now within the actual article itself from
bloomberg he did say that it's looking like apple is going to be launching new
macs before the end of the year as it works on versions of the mac mini and
macbook pro with m2 based processors and he is of course talking about the higher
end 14 and 16 inch macbook pros which a while back he showed that they're gonna
have 12 core cpu and for sure 38 cores for the gpu as well as the mac mini and
back in july last month he did say that the m2 pro and m2 max macbook pros are
expected between fall 2022 and spring 2023 which is what i initially thought i
thought it's going to be coming in spring because they're on an 18 month
cycle and that's of course because the m2 macbook air came 18 months after the
first m1 macbook air and i think apple's gonna follow the same cycle but check
out this bombshell leak that we just got we literally just got this the other day
three nanometer m2 pro chip for the macbook pro is reportedly entering
production later
this year that's from taiwan's commercial times yes they said it's
three nanometer not five nanometer and if we dig in even closer to 95 max
article it says the report suggests apple's m2 pro chip will be the first
product to feature this three nanometer technology yes the first one and it's
going to be available in the second half of this year now this is mind-blowing
because i thought that if it is getting three nanometer it's going to be getting
delayed until the spring but apparently we can have both because a lot of people
were saying it's coming this year with five nanometer but imagine if it's both
earlier and
faster with three nanometer and speaking of getting things done faster have you
ever needed to convert video files into a different mac or windows format well
we've been converting video files for years now using wondershare's incredibly
fast and optimized unit converter app which now supports high speed conversion
with both lossless and gpu accelerated conversion making it much faster than
regular conversion and unit converter can also compress over a thousand video
and audio formats into smaller file sizes without losing much quality at all
plus it's got some new ai lab features as well so check out unit converter 14
by using the link in the description below and now getting back to the video
the whole three nanometer thing is not an old rumor because shrimp apple pro
did talk about it and he actually replied to the tweet from nine to five
mac talking about the three nanometer chip production with this kind of cool
face with glasses saying that like yes i got this leak right because earlier
months ago in june he did say that people keep believing that any three
nanometer soc or chip will be of the m3 series but no he says the m2 pro and max
will get three nanometer that was back in june and along with that he also said
i don't know where people think three nanometer will be for only the m3 which
is not going to come out in 18 months and not for the m2 and pro max so he's
implying that yes the m2 pro and the max are getting three nanometer as well now
back in june on 27th after he talked about that we got a leak from digi times
saying that the upcoming m2 pro chip is gonna be on
nanometer including for the mac mini as well and then going back even further
june 7th we had a report from jeff poo saying that tsmc is starting mass
production of new three nanometer m2 pro chip later this year and he was correct
because we did get those reports a couple of days ago saying that tsmc is
beginning three nanometer chip production next month in september so
jeff poo was right about the three nanometer chip production now if we
actually look at what tsmc themselves were saying they said that tsmc's first
three nanometer class node is called n3 and is on track to start high volume
manufacturing in the second half of this year actual chips are said to be
delivered to customers in early 2023 this technology is mostly aimed at early
adopters read apple and the like who can invest in leading-edge designs and would
benefit from the performance power area advantages offered by leading edge nodes
so apple's going to be basically the first customer and yes that was
confirmed earlier this morning apple's going to be the first to use tsmc's
three nanometer process which means they gotta have some kind of products coming
sooner than later which is why i think it might even be possible to come later
this year but more likely in the spring and the main reason for that is because
intel's 14 gen meteor lake was supposed to get some three nanometer node parts
from tsmc to put into their integrated gpu but no it was dropped because intel
is delaying those chips until 2024 most likely so intel is no longer going
to be using tsmc's three nanometer node production and that's why apple is going
to be taking advantage of that now along with that we actually got a pretty
interesting leak from the forum user on mac rumors moissanite and he gave us
some crazy information about the higher end m2 chips going into the 14 and
16-inch macbook pro and mac mini from a friend with early access to a prototype
now he says apple is currently testing two models of these chips one is gonna
have a 12 core cpu with three nanometer yes three nanometer there's going to be
eight high performance cores two middle performance yes because this new finfet
technology has three different optimizations for the actual three
nanometer cores themselves so two middle and then two high efficiency cores as
well so this is going to be really interesting and apple's probably going
to make a big deal in terms of the marketing now he says that this version
on three nanometer is going to be 10 faster than the other m2 pro and max
version while being 35 more efficient as well which is crazy
and he says if this is going to be the final m2 pro chip model then apple's
going to announce it sometime in march or april 2023 which is 18 months after
this 16 inch macbook pro came out with the m1 pro and m1 max and that totally
makes sense and it lines up what i think and it also lines up with tsmc's own
timelines now the other m2 pro chip model is based on the regular m2 that we
have now with eight high performance cores and four high efficiency cores
with the n5p five nanometer process the same as the m2 and if that's the final
model then it's going to be announced and come sometime in november
2022. now he did say that the gpu is going to be a 20 core for the m2 pro and
the m2 max is going to have a 40 core which is going to be awesome he said
that there is going to be bend models like a 30 core for the m2 max and a 16
core for the m2 pro and that makes sense but he also says that it's going to have
a better media encoding decode engine than the m1 pro and max and it's going
to have 300 gigabytes per second memory bandwidth for the m2 pro and 600 for the
m2 max and the apple is not working on the m2 ultra yet
and he said the mac mini is only going to get the optional m2 pro option while
the 14 and 16 inch will get the m2 pro and the m2 max so that makes sense in
terms of those leaks now the reason why i think apple is going to go with a
three nanometer option of the m2 pro and m2 max is because i don't think the 5
nanometer version is gonna cut it and the reason for that is because we tested
the 24 core versus the 32 core gpu m1 max chip within the 14 inch macbook pro
and we discovered that the 14 inch thermal throttles like crazy even with
the m1 max chip as you can see right here the 32 core version within the 14
inch chassis is slower than the 16 inch 24 core version so even
though you have a faster gpu with more cores it was actually slower because of
thermal throttling so it's basically using too much power that's causing too
much heat within the 14 inch chassis and the reason that matters is because we've
been testing the m2 chip in the macbook pro and we discovered that the m2 chip
uses 33 more power on average than the m1 while
in a cinebench run and that only led to 13
more actual score or performance so basically the m2 chip is overclocked to
the max using a bunch of extra power to try to squeeze out more performance now
imagine if that 14 inch is already thermal throttling and then apple
upgrades it to the five nanometer overclocked version of the m2 pro that's
gonna use even more power and it's gonna thermal throttle even more than it
already is right now and i don't think apple is gonna be okay with that they're
gonna try to make the three nanometer chip work as much as they possibly can
and then to add another reason the final one i actually did an interview with
mark german and he talked about what he expects for the m2 pro and m2 max 14 and
16 inch macbook pros and he says he does not expect the design to change at all
he said it's mainly going to be a chip swap and maybe some internal specs are
going to get upgraded and that's it so if apple is not going to change anything
about the features or design they're just gonna upgrade the chip mainly i
don't think the five nanometer version of the m2 pro and m2 max is gonna cut it
i don't think so i don't think it's gonna be that much faster i think apple
needs the marketing of the first three nanometer chip to make that very popular
and to get people to upgrade to those new macbook pros so because of that i am
almost 100 sure that these new m2 pro and m2 max chips are gonna be on tsmc's
three nanometer process and that is going to make them a whole
lot better than a lot of people are expecting and that's why you should
probably wait if you're considering buying one of these and you actually
have time to wait you probably should so if you totally disagree with me let me
