Apple Set to Unveil M3 iMac and MacBook Pro Models at Scary Fast Event

"Scary Fast Event" Might Include Gaming Focused Announcements with a Collaboration from Japanese Game Developer, Capcom.

  • Apple is preparing to launch a new M-series chipset, the M3, which will power the next-gen Mac hardware including a new M3 iMac and 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro versions running on the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips.
  • The base M3 chip is claimed to outperform the A17 Pro, which powers the iPhone 15 Pros, and could therefore turn the M3 MacBook Air into a powerful gaming device, hence the 'Scary Fast' event is speculated to have gaming-related announcements.
  • Apple's online 'Scary Fast' event will be held at an unusual time to fall within Japanese business hours, hinting at a collaboration involving Apple and Japanese game developer, Capcom.
  • Capcom announced that 'Resident Evil Village' will be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPads powered by M1 chips or newer starting October 30th — the same date as Apple's 'Scary Fast' event.
  • The release of M3 chips is expected to significantly boost performance over previous versions, prompting speculation that, along with the new 24-inch iMac, new 14- and-16-inch M3 Pro and M3 Max MacBook Pro models will be unveiled at Monday's event.
