Apple MacBook Pro Specifications

The new.14- and 16‑inch MacBook Pro models feature a Liquid Retina XDR display with 20 per cent brighter SDR content, a built-in 1080p camera, an immersive six-speaker sound system, and a wide array of connectivity options. The latest MacBook Pro Models will offer up to 22 hours of battery life.

The new machines from Apple now support real-time ray-tracing, and Apple claims that these MacBooks, running on macOS Sonoma are optimised for gaming, and can handle even new AAA titles like Baldur’s Gate 3. Also, according to Apple, the M3 chips features a next-generation GPU, which is faster and more efficient.

It comes with a new technology called Dynamic Caching. Unlike traditional GPUs, Dynamic Caching allocates the use of local memory in hardware in real time.

With Dynamic Caching, only the exact amount of memory needed is used for each task. It dramatically increases the average utilisation of the GPU, which significantly increases performance for the most demanding pro apps and games. According to the company,  the new MacBook Pro models are 7.4 times faster than Intel Core i7-based MacBook Pros and 60 per cent faster than 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro with M3 Pro provides even greater performance, supports more unified memory, and is now up to 40 percent faster than the 16‑inch model with M1 Pro, Apple said.
