if your referring to the cobb tuner, thats not really a "chip" a chip would be something that is put right into the computer.

and as far as i know, no, there is no "chip" availiable for the N/A mazda 3. as of right now all i have been able to find is a complete stand alone setup. or a piggy back A/F controller

correct there is the microtech a full stand alone running around 1500$ and there is a cp-e stand back n/a version in the works more like a piggy back that is going to be around 650$ and then there is the a/f controller that is about 300 or so. a "chip" is a common mod to f/i cars or larger displacment engine on a n/a 4 banger the gains would probably be minimal.

just to add, chip tuning is more beneficial for some car manufactures than others. it all depends on which parameters are easily "unlocked" from the factory tune. current mazda computers aren't as easy to crack due to the tight parameters our cars run on
