Apple is working on developing a new version of the MacBook Pro
it seems Apple Intends to make new changes to its product list; Following the redesigned version of the MacBook Air, there are now rumors that the company wants to launch a new version of the MacBook Air with a new M2 chip at a more competitive price. Stay tuned to Lyon Tak.
It should be noted that the new version is not going to be as powerful as the 14-inch and 16-inch Mac Pro models equipped with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. However, the new standard M2 chip to be used in the low-cost MacBook model, which has many improvements such as energy efficiency compared to the previous generation M1 chip.
New MacBook Pro with M2 chip
According to Mark Gorman of Bloomberg, the new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are codenamed J493 and J413, respectively. In terms of specifications, both models use the 4-nanometer M2 chip (manufactured by TSMC). This chip has an 8-core processor and a 10-core graphics processor.
The 8-core processor in this chip, like the M1, is probably divided into two parts, including 4 high-performance cores (for heavy work) and 4 cores with lower power consumption when using light applications. Also, one of the changes to the new M2 chip is that it uses 10 cores (instead of 8 cores) in its GPU, unlike the M1. Gorman recently predicted that the performance of the 10-core M2 GPU would be relatively faster than that of the M1 GPU. For this reason, due to the small differences between the two chips in terms of graphics processing, people who bought the MacBook M1 version do not necessarily have to buy a new version.
Unlike the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro is not expected to change the design. For this reason, people waiting for the touch bar to be added to this product will have to wait until the introduction of the new generation MacBook. It is also said that the new MacBook Air will be launched in September this year without support for Face ID and MegSaf charger. Full details of these products have not been released yet, but more details are expected to be shared as the launch time approaches.
