While the M1 chip, the first of the new generation of Apple chips, made a sensational arrival on the Tech scene last November, since then it has been difficult not to think about what's next.on the Cupertino side, and rumors keep coming about the future of this new range.
First of allannounced under the name M1X, the succession of the M1 chip could finally be operated by the M2 chip, with a MacBook Air. The information was published this week by the Apple brand specialist known as @Dylandkt.
According to him, the M1X chip will be real, but should be reserved for MacBook Pros, with Apple continuing to develop its range of chips for other models.
M2 would therefore arrive in 2022 within a new MacBook Air. A projection which joins that of another specialist from the Apple brand, Jon Prosser, who also believes in a MacBook Air in 2022, with an M2 chip at its heart.
What to expect from the M2 chip?
There is currently relatively little information regarding this M2 chip. The performance of the M1 chip is already very impressive, we should not expect a revolutionary power gain on this new generation of chip which should be an evolution of M1, just as the A chips are evolutions of each other. from year to year on iPhones. For the moment, the rumors also do not specify whether the M2 chip will be present in an iPad in the future or not. As a reminder, the latest iPad Pro has the M1 chip.
The arrival of this new chip does not call into question the release of MacBook Pros scheduled for September. The latter 14 and 16 inches should arrive with the M1X chip, an evolution of the original M1.
