Apple M3 Pro

11-core CPU

5 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores — the M3 Pro version Apple sold in the base 14-inch model.

H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW acceleration; AV1 decoding

One video decode engine, one video encode engine and one ProRes encode and decode engine on M3 Pro.

36 GB

Unified memory shared by the CPU and GPU; this is not SSD storage. Apple India’s configurator offered 36 GB (+₹40,000 at launch) as a custom option on the base 11-core M3 Pro model — a configure-to-order combination, not a separate retail SKU.

150 GB/s

Bandwidth is not RAM clock speed or transfer rate in MT/s.

Not published

Do not substitute a bandwidth figure for MHz or MT/s.

Not user accessible; no later memory upgrade

Apple’s India store configurator: “Unified memory is not user accessible. If you think you may need additional memory, it’s a good idea to add it now.”

18 GB or 36 GB with M3 Pro

Apple’s factory options, not later upgrades. The base 14-inch model shipped with 18 GB; 36 GB was the other M3 Pro option. Larger capacities (48–128 GB) required M3 Max.

512 GB SSD

The base 11-core M3 Pro model’s standard storage. Formatted usable capacity is lower.

Not user accessible; no later internal SSD upgrade

Apple’s India store configurator: “Storage is not user accessible.” External storage is a separate option.

512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB or 4 TB with M3 Pro

Apple configure-to-order options at purchase; 8 TB required M3 Max.
