Having two variants (with rumors of future versions with even more core options intended for the Mac Mini and Mac Pro) makes a lot of sense: In my testing, the M1 chip has performed almost identically regardless of device, giving the iPad as much power as the Mac Mini.
And it's unclear whether a discrete GPU remains an option.Ī higher-power version of Apple's M1 chip may be on the horizon. Doubling or quadrupling the number of cores promises significantly better performance that, in combination with the tight integration with MacOS, could rival the performance of a discrete AMD GPU. In contrast, the M1 has eight cores, split equally between performance and power saving, and either seven or eight graphics cores. There've also been rumors that there will be two variants of the new chip, both with 10 cores (eight high-performance and two energy efficient), but with different integrated graphics core configurations: 16 or 32. Multiple sources agree that there will be a new version of the CPU - and it's reportedly already in production - for the larger MacBook (currently a 16-inch screen version), and possibly for upcoming new desktops. Apple's M1 CPU has made it as far as the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, 24-inch iMac, Mac Mini and iPads, but thus far we haven't seen any of Apple's home-grown silicon in systems for power users. And in his recent Power On newsletter, Gurman said he expects new MacBook Pro models to debut by the end of this year. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg asserted this in a recent tweet, stating, "There will be two events," the first being the iPhone launch. It's highly likely that the company will launch new MacBook Pros or other new Macs at an event in mid-October, as it has tended to do over the years.
