The higher-end M3 Pro chip is reportedly being tested in different configurations. It could feature as many as 6 performance and 6 efficiency cores, totaling 12 CPU cores. The GPU cores are also expected to see an increase to 18, with the possibility of a top configuration featuring 14 CPU cores and 20 GPU cores.

The M3 Max chip, positioned as the top-end chip in the M3 lineup, is rumored to feature 16 cores in one of its configurations, with 12 high-performance and 4 efficiency cores. The GPU cores in the highest configuration could reach a staggering 40. Additionally, the base configuration of the M3 Max might include 32 GPU cores.
