A few hours from the event of Manzana where, in theory, new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, along with a possible renovation of the Mac Mini, we would have more details of the next ARM processors designed by Apple. They would be called M1 Pro and M1 Maxaccording to Mark Gurman, who has an impeccable reputation for delivering company news.
He has revealed it in his newsletter, Power On, where you explain that a developer has detected both names in your app logs. Someone with access to one of these future products may have performed software tests and inadvertently revealed the names of the processors.
Still, Gurman accepts that he may M1 Pro and M1 Max not the final names of the processors, just internal ways of referring to different models. We will have it clear this Monday, October 18 when Apple makes the keynote virtual that we will cover live from Hypertextual.
Hours ago the possible new design of the screen of the Macbook pro with a notch where the camera and more sensors would be located, although from a design point of view it makes little sense, unless they decide to make the edges practically non-existent.
M1 Pro and M1 Max: 10 CPU cores and up to 32 GPU cores
It is expected that M1 Pro and M1 Max have up to ten cores, little high-power and two high-efficiency for less complex tasks and energy savings. In addition, two variations are expected, one with 16 and one with 32 graphics cores.
In 2020 Apple introduced a new Macbook pro and MacBook Air, both 13 inches with the M1 processor that surprised and continues to surprise with its processing capacity and at the same time how conservative they are with the use of the battery. It also revamped the Mac Mini with the same processor, in addition to reducing its price and power consumption, but yielding surprising performance figures.
It is possible that during keynote Monday, October 18, also present a new Mac Mini, high-powered with these new Apple-designed processors. The event starts at 7:00 p.m. in Spain, 12:00 in Mexico and 10:00 a.m. in San Francisco, from where the broadcast will take place.
