Apple's future 3nm chips for the MacBook Pro speculated for release in 2023 begin production in Taiwan, and its manufacturers are celebrating the beginning of this development. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company held a rare kickoff celebration for this event to mark the start of the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.
And while this unique party celebrates this milestone for the present best tech from its development, future chips will soon come from its overseas investment facility with its manufacturing plant in Arizona.

In a report by Focus Taiwan, there will be a massive kickoff party in TSMC to mark the start of its production of the advanced 3nm chips in Taiwan.
These are the most advanced semiconductors of the company to date, one that will center on the MacBook Pro's 2023 releases with its new chips to feature.
Its famous "Fab 18" plant in Southern Taiwan Science Park, Tainan will deliver the first editions of the most advanced chip yet, one that it manufactured in their country.
This event marks the occasion that aims to signify its Taiwan plants be its central "research, development and production" hub, amidst its future transition for its US plants.

Future M2 Pro, M2 Max to Manufacture in Arizona
According to 9to5 Mac, the future MacBook Pro chips will feature two variations of the latest processor for laptop computers including the M2 Pro and M2 Max semiconductors. And while it will soon center in Arizona to get the "Made in America" stamp, it will start with its production in Taiwan, with the kickoff party to take place on December 29.
Apple and TSMC's US Chip Plant
To adhere to the bill that the Biden administration pushed in 2021 as part of the "Made in America" initiative, Apple and TSMC centered on their investments to establish a plant in the country for its semiconductor manufacturing. It chose Phoenix, Arizona for the plant's location, and earlier this month, it more than tripled its investments from $12 billion to a whopping $40 billion.
Apple is not the only one looking forward to this plant, as TSMC and its founder are on board this initiative to push with its US investments to soon deliver its chips for its massive tech production here.
It would change a great deal for its developments in the future, especially as it will open up new opportunities in the country, but will have a 50 percent higher cost compared to its operations in Taiwan.
As part of its investments in the United States for the future of chip production and sale in the country for Apple products, TSMC is kicking off its latest 3nm production and marking this occasion for Taiwan. The Southeast Asian country will remain as the company's central hub, hence its celebration, before its transition to manufacturing in the Western hemisphere.
