Apple, the tech giant, has recently made some thrilling announcements. On Monday, they unveiled their new MacBook Pro and iMac computers. And that's not all. They also introduced three new chips: M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max.
These announcements came during an online event. The focus is on professional users.
Apple has given its graphics processing units (GPU) a makeover. This is a significant move, especially when we see Nvidia's stronghold in the GPU market.
Now, let's talk about prices. In the U.S., the 14-inch MacBook Pro will cost $1,599. If you want a bigger screen, the 16-inch version is priced at $2,499. The new iMac, powered by the M3 chip family, is priced at $1,299.
Wondering about availability? Some of these products will hit the shelves next week. But for others, you might have to wait until later in November.
There's another interesting piece of news. Apple's Mac business is seeing a fresh surge. Since 2020, its market share has almost doubled! It now stands at close to 11%. Remember 2020? That's when Apple said goodbye to Intel and started using its own custom-designed chips. This bold move seems to be paying off, as per the latest data from IDC.
So, if you're an Apple fan, there's a lot to look forward to! Whether you're a professional or just love top-notch tech, these new offerings promise to be a treat.
As part of the focus on business users on Monday, it showed off a new secure screen sharing feature that would let them access their machines from remote locations.
Apple's unique chips, inspired by design technology from Arm Holdings, have enhanced the battery life of its Macs. Additionally, for certain tasks, these chips offer superior performance compared to machines running Microsoft's Windows operating system.
While many laptop manufacturers opt to pair an Intel central processor unit (CPU) with an Nvidia GPU, Apple has chosen a different path. They've integrated both components into their Apple silicon chips. According to Apple, this integration provides a performance edge over their competitors.
Apple's impact on the market has motivated Qualcomm to intensify its focus on creating Arm-based chips for Windows. Just last week, Qualcomm shared its intentions to launch a chip that outperforms and is more energy-efficient than certain Apple products. As per a recent report by Reuters, Nvidia is also gearing up to make its entry into the PC market by around 2025.
