No M1X? Apple may call new MacBook Pro chips M1 Pro and M1 Max
India Today
The MacBook Pro may come with M1 Pro and M1 Max chipsets inside.
Apple’s Unleashed event may still be some hours away but leaks are still coming in. We know nearly everything about the upcoming MacBook Pro and that includes the updated silicon processor from Apple. Rumours are rife that the new processor will be better than last year’s M1, but the jury is still out on what it will be known as. Some rumours say it will be called M1X, but some others mention it as M2. Now, a new report suggests Apple will not go with the M1X name and call the chipsets M1 Pro and M1 Max.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported that the names of chips that will power the upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models have come up in developer app logs. Ever since the rumours around the MacBook Pro began to pour in, there have always been two models for the processor that Apple may launch. An entry-level chipset will come with a 16-core GPU while the higher version will feature a 32-core GPU, while both of them will have eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores. Now, one of them, Gurman believes, will be called M1 Pro and the other one M1 Max.
