Apple’s M2-powered 14- and 16-inch MacGuide Pros might arrive early subsequent 12 months

We may have to attend longer for the 3nm MacGuide than we’d beforehand hoped. New 14-inch and 16-inch MacGuide Pros are on the horizon, based on a brand new prediction from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, however they’re unlikely to be the 3nm course of. Refreshes of the wonderful skilled MacBooks “will enter mass production” in This fall of 2022, Kuo tweeted this morning.

Kuo’s intel signifies that they “may still adopt the 5nm advanced node,” which is similar course of node that the latest M2 MacGuide Air and MacGuide Pro fashions use. That would, if true, imply that Apple’s first 3nm MacGuide chips, also rumored to be entering production later this 12 months, won’t debut in these machines.

Previous reports have indicated that Apple had plans to launch MacBooks powered by the brand new M2 Pro (to not be confused with the M2 MacGuide Pro, the latest 13-inch MacGuide Pro that’s powered by the common M2 chip) and M2 Max chips this fall. Others have suggested that the M2 Pro chip will undertake the 3nm node (which Kuo’s leak would seem to contradict).

While the present leak panorama is complicated, all will (we hope) be cleared up at Apple’s October launch event. We count on a few new iPads, together with an M2 iPad Pro and Tenth-generation iPad, to debut at this occasion, in addition to a number of Mac computer systems (together with a potential M2 Mac Mini).
