Apple’s M2 chips and the computer systems they’ll energy detailed in new leak

Apple is reportedly engaged on 9 new Macs that includes its upcoming M2 processors, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. These rumors come sizzling on the heels of Apple releasing the Mac Studio, and its announcement that the the M1 Ultra can be the final chip in its current-gen lineup.

Bloomberg isn’t predicting a substitute for the Studio but, however it reviews that almost all different Mac fashions can be getting an improve. Gurman says he’s seen proof of an M2-powered MacEbook Air with a 10-core GPU — opposite to earlier predictions {that a} redesigned Air would nonetheless have an M1 — in addition to an entry-level M2 MacEbook Pro with the identical specs. The 14 and 16-inch MacEbook Pros additionally make an look, together with a brand new Mac Mini and Mac Pro, all rocking next-gen Apple silicon.

A Mac Mini with the current-gen M1 Pro additionally cropped up, although it’s laborious to think about that making it to market now that the Mac Studio exists.

The higher-end machines will reportedly have M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, with the Max having 12 CPU cores and 38 graphics cores (two CPU and 6 GPU cores additional in comparison with the present M1 Max). Bloomberg doesn’t embody particulars on the breakdown of effectivity and efficiency cores. The M2 Pro additionally exhibits up as an possibility for the Mac Mini, and Gurman predicts that the Mac Pro could have a “successor to the M1 Ultra.”

(By the way in which, should you’re making an attempt to determine how this provides as much as 9 computer systems like I initially did, it’s one MacEbook Air, one entry-level Pro, two fashions of the Mini, two fashions every of the 14 and 16-inch MBP — with Pro and Max chips respectively — and the desktop Pro.)

It’s intriguing that the entry-level MacEbook Pro could stick round, and nonetheless be barely differentiated from the Air. Whenever I talk about laptops with my colleagues, they normally predict that Apple will quietly discontinue the 13-inch mannequin, provided that it looks as if an sad medium between the Air and the 14-inch Pro. It’s additionally a little bit of an outlier with its Touch Bar, however it’s an open query whether or not the successor could have one — the Bloomberg report doesn’t say.

Notably absent from the record of computer systems is any kind of iMac. There’s no point out of a successor to the M1-powered 24-inch all-in-one, or a substitute for the not too long ago discontinued 27-inch iMac.

Gurman says this wealth of data comes from developer logs, which presumably confirmed up as a result of Apple was testing its new computer systems utilizing third-party apps. While it wasn’t laborious to foretell that Apple can be engaged on the subsequent era of chips, it’s thrilling to see proof of their existence out within the wild, and to get early particulars.

It will not be that lengthy of a wait earlier than an official announcement of no less than just a few of those computer systems — Bloomberg reviews that “at least two Macs” may launch “around the middle of the year.” And would not you recognize it, WWDC is on the calendar for June sixth.
