We might need to wait longer for the MacBook than we thought. According to a new prediction from an analyst, new MacBook Pros are on the way, but they are not likely to be the 3nm process. The MacBooks will enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The M2 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models use the same process nodes as the 5nm advanced one. It is rumored that Apple's first 3nanometer MacBook chips will not debut in these machines.

New 14" and 16" MacBook Pro with new processors will enter mass production in 4Q22. Given TSMC's guidance that the 3nm will contribute revenue starting in 1H23, processors of 14" and 16" MacBook Pro models may still adopt the 5nm advanced node.

According to previous reports, Apple was planning to launch MacBooks powered by the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips this fall. The leak of the M2 Pro chip would appear to be contrary to others' suggestions.

All will be cleared up at Apple's October launch event. Multiple Mac computers, including a possible M2 Mac Mini, are expected to debut at this event, along with a few new iPads, including an M2 iPad Pro and 10th- generation iPad.
