Now packed with 25 billion transistors, five billion more than M2, the Apple M3 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). Now built with 3nm process technology, the Apple M3 8-core chip features four performance cores and four efficiency cores, which is up to 35 percent faster than M1 for CPU performance. The M3 also supports up to 24GB of unified memory.

With a 10-Core GPU, the M3 features Dynamic Caching, which allocates the use of local memory in hardware in real time. Dynamic Caching only uses the exact amount of memory needed for each task, which dramatically increases the average utilization of the GPU, resulting in significant performance increases for the most demanding pro apps and games. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing has arrived for the MacBook Air.

The MacBook Air features the 15.3" Liquid Retina Display, with support for one billion colors. The 2880 x 1864 resolution provides crisp text. The 500-nit brightness and wide P3 color gamut ensure that photos and movies are brilliant and vivid, complete with rich contrast and sharp detail. With True Tone technology, the display delivers a more natural viewing experience for design and editing workflows as well as everyday tasks like browsing the web and writing email.

With a Full HD 1080p FaceTime camera, the MacBook Air allows you to look your best during video calls.

The built-in six speakers provide support for Spatial Audio when playing music and Dolby Atmos support when playing videos.

The three-mic array with directional beamforming features Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum modes to capture clean audio, allowing your voice to come through loud and clear.
