We have documented rumors about Apple's next processor generation often enough in the past. Now more information has emerged that is in line with previous reports.
The leaker dylandkt claimed now on Twitter that Apple's new Apple Silicon chip, the M2 processor, is set to be released in the first half of 2022. The chip will reportedly make its debut in a brand new MacBook Air.
I just wanted to share some details about when we can expect the next generation of the M2 processor (not the M1X which is reserved for the Mac Pro devices). This processor is expected to arrive in the first half of 2022 along with the upcoming colorful Macbook (Air).
While this source's track record is rather modest, it is important to remember that Dylan was previously correct with details about the iPad Pro 2021. At the time, he stated that Apple would equip the professional tablet with the M1 processor. He was also correct with his information regarding the market launch. He goes on to write:
MacBook Air with M2 chip could shake up the world of mobile computers
The M1X is an extension of the M1 processor with greater power consumption, more CPU and GPU cores. M2 is a next-generation chip that is most likely based on the same foundation as the A15.
Dylan has already explained that the M1X is an extension of the M1 with more cores, which will be used in the new Mac mini, MacBook Pro and the new - larger - iMac. In addition, his latest statement is in line with previous statements from Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg. In addition, both sources and Jon Prosser have promised a brand new MacBook Air for 2022. If these rumors are indeed true, the new MacBook Air will certainly shake up the world of mobile computers. (Image: Jon Prosser x Rendersbyan)
