Apple has reportedly started testing on another soon-to-be-released M3 Mac model, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who says the new machine, running macOS Sonoma 14.1, the first point update to the upcoming new Mac software release, will likely be a next-generation Mac mini.
In the latest edition of his weekly “Power On” newsletter, Gurman says “So far, I’ve reported on several next-generation machines in testing, including new iMacs, as well as entry-level and high-end MacBook Pros. Today, I can add another M3 Mac to the list: a model running a base M3 chip.”
“The Mac in testing includes eight CPU cores (made up of four efficiency cores and four performance cores), 10 graphics processor cores and 24 gigabytes of memory,” says Gurman. “Given the M3 chip’s specifications in this particular Mac, I believe it probably represents a next-generation Mac mini.”
Last week, Gurman said Apple is reportedly readying three new Mac models, including an updated 24-inch iMac, for launch in October.
