Apple is already working on a successor to its recently-unveiled M1 ARM laptop chipset.<\/p>\n
This is according to LeaksApplePro, who stated on Twitter<\/a><\/strong> that the new processor is currently under development and is currently code-named the “Apple M1X”.<\/p>\n The leak stated that the chip will boast a total of 12 cores: eight high-performance cores with four high-efficiency cores, mirroring the same big-little architecture of the M1 chip while boosting the number of processing units.<\/p>\n The new chipset will reportedly launch within a 16-inch MacBook Pro that Apple will unveil in a press release once development is completed.<\/p>\n A source purportedly told the leaker that “if you think M1 is fast, you haven’t seen M1X”, pointing to a dramatic improvement in performance over the previously-unveiled chip.<\/p>\n This is impressive, considering the performance improvements Apple states the M1 chip has over the previous Intel processors it has used in its laptops.<\/p>\n There is currently no confirmed released date for this upcoming “Apple M1X” chipset.<\/p>\n The Apple M1 is the first system-on=chip built specifically for Mac devices, and it uses an ARM microarchitecture as well as a unified memory architecture for improved performance and power efficiency.<\/p>\n It is the first computer chip built using 5nm processor technology and combines high-performance and high-efficiency cores for maximising efficiency and performance.<\/p>\n Apple states<\/strong><\/a> that the M1 chipset offers the world\u2019s best CPU performance per watt, outpacing all of its rivals in power efficiency.<\/p>\n There is also an integrated graphics unit in the Apple M1, which has eight physical cores that deliver a total of 2.6 teraflops of performance.<\/p>\n Apple said that when it comes to personal computers, M1 has the world\u2019s fastest integrated graphics.<\/p>\n This new M1 chipset is the first iteration in what will be a new range of chips that will end up powering all of Apple’s Mac devices in future.<\/p>\n Apple M1X:<\/p>\n -12 Cores.<\/p>\n – 8 performance cores.<\/p>\n – 4 high efficiency cores.<\/p>\n – Coming first on a MacBook Pro – According to a source who used a prototype, \u201cif you think M1 is fast, you haven\u2019t seen M1X\u201d.<\/p>\n -Name isn\u2019t final though. pic.twitter.com\/tpBhXpDCad<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 LeaksApplePro (@LeaksApplePro) November 22, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nApple M1 chip<\/h3>\n
