Apple has reportedly been behind schedule with the overhaul of the MacBook Pro, which should only affect high-end models that still incorporate Intel chips at the moment. There had been rumors of a WWDC presentation in June, and the “m1x MacBook Pro” tag finally appeared in the video of the conference released by Apple on YouTube, a sign that Apple may have pushed back. announcement at the last minute.
In any case, a major overhaul is coming. On the processor side, we should discover the M1X chip (and not M2), a more muscular variation of the Apple M1 chip with 8 cores dedicated to performance and 2 for energy savings, against 4 for performance and 4 for energy savings. energy on the M1 chip. There would be two different editions of this M1X chip with 16 or 32 graphics cores, compared to 7 or 8 cores today on the M1 chip.
On the design side, Apple would use a new more angular chassis with richer connectivity: the MacBook Pro would integrate the MagSafe magnetic connector, an HDMI port and an SD card reader. Apple would also make a cross on the Touch Bar, replaced by traditional function keys. The small model would go from 13.3 “to 14” with reduced bezels around the screen. Another major novelty is the integration of a Mini-LED panel, as on the iPad Pro 12.9 “, which would make it possible to obtain absolute blacks. DigiTimes also claims that Apple would provide an investment of $ 200 million to support the production of these next-generation tiles, with suppliers struggling to keep up with demand for the moment.
