Apple’s two-yr introduction of its individual silicon in Macs could be wrapping up, but that is only the beginning of what is to appear. Now that the chip cycle is in complete swing, it’s now time for the following series of processors right after the M1. And according to a new Bloomberg report, it could come about incredibly shortly.
Mark Gurman experiences Apple has started out “widespread internal testing” of numerous M2-geared up Macs. Developers’ logs take note that Apple is testing nine new Macs with 4 various M2 chips with third-party applications in the Application Retail outlet. Testing of these Macs does not essentially necessarily mean each individual product will arrive at the sector, but the move does indicate that a conclusion on when these Macs will be unveiled is near.
Gurman notes that the Macs currently being tested incorporate a MacBook Air, Mac mini, and an entry-stage MacBook Professional, all jogging M2 chips with a8-main CPUs and 10-core GPUs. Also in testing is a Mac mini and MacBook Pro with M2 Professional chips as nicely as 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro products with M2 Max chips rocking a 12-core CPU and 38-main GPU, and 64GB of RAM. Gurman did not supply specs for the M2 Professional, but it will presumably have the exact same 12-main CPU as the M1 Max and a GPU with 20 or 22 cores.
Gurman also details out that Apple is testing a Mac Professional with a “successor to the M1 Extremely,” and a highly expected Mac mini with an M1 Pro and an M1 Max—but Gurman cautions the miniature desktop may possibly be considered “redundant” by Apple. Apple previously sells an M1 Mac mini and M1 Max Mac Studio but doesn’t at this time sell a desktop Mac with an M1 Pro chip.
Former reports have stated that the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini will ship this year. Apple however has two Mac models in its lineup with Intel processors: the higher-end $1,099 Mac mini and the Mac Pro. Both of these Macs could be up to date at WWDC22, and with this most current report, it’s attainable that we get a look at Apple’s subsequent-gen chip as perfectly.
