Future MacBook Pro chips can be called ‘M1 Pro’ and ‘M1 Max’

A few hours before the “Unleashed” event, the rumor counter started to go crazy. Mark Gorman, in his book the news On Sunday, it outlines what to expect, say, two 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with mini-LED displays, as do the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro. It also confirms the new panel definitions: 3024 x 1964 and 3456 x 2234 pixels (versus 2560 x 1600 and 3072 x 1920 pixels at the current 13 and 16 inches).

Goodbye Touch Bar?

The MagSafe port should actually come back to these devices, after the 24-inch iMac. Apple was also going to test the integration of HDMI ports and an SD card reader, which can therefore be found in these MacBooks. The manufacturer has been all about the idea of ​​a USB-A port (!), but a priori won’t be coming back to new PCs, just like the Touch Bar we feel is the end of the part.

leak specialist Bloomberg It again indicates that these models will ship a processor with 10 cores (8 efficient, 2 economic), while we will have the choice between a 16- or 32-core graphics circuit. In terms of RAM, these PCs should be able to support 32 or 64 GB of RAM, compared to a maximum of 16 GB for M1 Macs.

Apple could give different names to its future chips depending on their graphics capacity: M1X (16 cores) and M1Z (32 cores), like the chip that powers the iPad Pro 2020 (A12Z, which has the same CPU than the A12X but better GPU) . Gurman has heard the words “M1 Pro” and “M1 Max,” so it’s kind of a guess.

Guessing, they’re also totally lost with this rumor that’s been circulating since the start of the weekend that this MacBook Pro will offer a…score. A Chinese leaker taken by DuanRui shows a picture of what is supposed to be the computer cover and there is actually a crack in it.

This will have a 1080p webcam, True Tone sensor, and microphone, but no Face ID! Touch ID will stay in place. Maybe this notch is necessary to cut the border?
