RAM type

LPDDR510Reviewrtings.com/laptop/reviews/apple/macbook-pro-14-m3-2023Read 7 October 2026Public configuration table explicitly lists 8GB LP-DDR5 for base M3. The 18GB M3 Pro test unit is not imported. The table labels 6400MHz, which does not alone establish configured MT/s, so no RAM speed conversion is made.

RAM speediConfigured memory data rate in transfers per second. Do not treat the DRAM clock in MHz as the data rate.

6,400MT/s13Spec databaselowendmac.com/1234/apple-silicon-m3-pro-chip-specsRead 13 October 2026Chip page: LPDDR5-6400, 6400 MT/s. The bandwidth Apple states is 150 GB/s, which agrees with 192 bits at 6400 MT/s.

Memory channelsiActive memory channels of the installed configuration, not the number of RAM modules or slots. One installed module is one channel. This holds for DDR5 too, whose two 32-bit subchannels on one module do not count as two channels. Soldered LPDDR memory counts in 64-bit units, so a 128-bit bus is 2 channels, even when a maker calls it quad-channel.
