Time to see what an A14 core can do with the juice turned up.

Screw the A14, Apple should use the A15 for their high-end chip.

All conjecture at this point, until it's fully confirmed by Apple. They could very well use the A15 chips for the new M Macs.

They might, though the chips were supposedly made earlier in '21 and the machines were delayed by display shortage. We'll see.

I'm waiting to find out how high they push the clock speed.

I don't think you'll see a prosumer ARM Mac in 2022... just more mini upgrades to the base M1 design. You know, like adding all the things that were missing from the M1s when they initially released them... ports, memory, and storage... yeah all that stuff everyone swore they didn't need on an M1 because it was an M1 will now magically be available.

I'd say 2024 for the first real powerful ARM Mac.

I'm not sure if I'm expecting anything from the event. I could buy a MacBook Air 16" for personal use, but Apple probably won't release one. I might also consider something absurd for work, like a MacBook RealPro with 32 performance cores and 256 GB RAM. Midrange models between those two are not that interesting.

That 32-core thin laptop should be technically feasible. If Apple doesn't release one just because they can, they are a boring company with no sense of humor.

In which crystal ball did YOU look?
