Apple is reportedly working on a new MacBook Air featuring a next-generation M3 3nm chip, according to a report from Taiwanese site DigiTimes, which suggests that the new machine could be released during the second half of 2023.
The report, which cites information from Apple’s supply chain, claims that manufacturers are focusing on developing Apple’s new 2023 MacBook Air which will likely be equipped with a 3nm processor, offering faster performance and improved power efficiency compared to Apple’s current 5nm chips.
The new 2023 MacBook Air is expected to be Apple’s first Mac to feature the M3 chip, with the processor being less powerful than the recently announced M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, beginning the M3 chip series that will likely feature in all new Macs following its release.
