  Built using industry-leading 3-nanometer technology, the M3 chip brings even faster performance and more capabilities to MacBook Air. Featuring a powerful 8-core CPU, up to a 10-core GPU, and support for up to 24GB of unified memory, the new MacBook Air is up to 60 percent faster than the model with M1 and up to 13x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air.1 It also features up to 18 hours of battery life, which is up to six hours longer than an Intel-based MacBook Air.1 Users will feel the blazing speed of M3 in everything they do, from everyday productivity, to demanding tasks like photo and video editing, and software development. And with the next-generation GPU of M3, the new MacBook Air supports hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing, offering more accurate lighting, reflections, and shadows for extremely realistic gaming experiences. It also includes the latest media engine with support for AV1 decode, providing more efficient and higher-quality video experiences from streaming services.

  ☑ Run multiple apps and edit thousands of photos or 4K video

  ☑ Up to 13x faster than fastest Intel‑based MacBook Air footnote 

  ☑ Supports up to two external displays (with laptop lid closed)

  With the M3 chip, graphics and gaming look better than ever on MacBook Air. And thanks to a new class of GPU architecture, M3 includes Dynamic Caching and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Dynamic Caching drives a huge performance boost for pro apps and games, while hardware‑accelerated ray tracing produces more realistic images for immersive gaming.

  This all means that M3 makes gaming a blast on the new MacBook Air. And everything else feels incredibly fast and responsive, too.

  Compared to a PC laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor, MacBook Air with M3 delivers up to 2x faster performance, up to 50 percent faster web browsing, and up to 40 percent longer battery life.
