M1X, mini-LED, and more.
Numerous reports—some from very reliable sources—say that Apple will introduce a new MacBook Pro in just a few short works. This isn’t any ordinary speed bump release, however. The new MacBook Pro promises to put Apple’s flagship laptop in a new light and set the momentum for future releases. Let’s take a look at what we could see in the next MacBook Pro and how these new features will transform the laptop from what we’re familiar with into something completely new.
New MacBook Pro: Apple silicon
Apple’s M1 System on a Chip (SoC) took the industry by storm when it was revealed last November in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini. Its performance blew past expectations (and Intel CPUs) and extended battery life so much that it boggled the mind.
Now that initial impressions of Apple silicon are out of the way, it’s time for the company to show what else is in store. And the idea that the next Apple SoC could be significantly faster than the M1 makes this the most exciting thing that will happen with the new MacBook Pro.
Various reports state that the SoC in the new MacBook Pro will be called the M1X, and it could have a 10-core CPU, with eight performance cores and two efficiency cores. That’s double the number of performance cores of the M1. Also, the M1X could support a maximum of 64GB of RAM—the M1’s max is 16GB.
