[ReturnAlt10]

MacBook Air - Will come with M2, not M1. Redesigned look like iMacs. Same price, 10 core CPU, 9 core GPU (base). Coming November

I thought this thread would be about a MacBook Air leaking... air... not some vague prediction from what appears to be a new user

 

[ReturnAlt10]

I’m new to the platform but I predicted the Mac lineup since 2020!

 

[JPack]

I trust Kuo over a macrumors newbie.

M1 for sure.

 

[ReturnAlt10]

Bet? M1 vs M2

Probably

MacBook Air that looks like iMacs must be interesting.

This is a summary of all the existing rumors.

Could you elaborate on the 10 core CPU? Does this imply 6 performance cores and the same 4 efficiency cores, 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores or 5 of each? Will this be based from the A15 or A16 cores?

 

[ReturnAlt10]

At the moment, leaks say it could be an 8 core CPU with 4 performance and 4 efficiency cores. If it does come with 10, Apple would probably soo 5 each. It will be based on A15.

Personally I believe Kuo that it’s going to come with an M1 chip… then I think the entry MBP will be the first Mac with M2… Apple seem to be using their chips to differentiate their standard and Pro lines lately…

iPad Air M1
iPad Pro (will get M2 very soon)
iPhone 14 A15
iPhone 14 Pro A16

It would make sense for Apple to have the MacBook Air with M1 and the MacBook Pro with M2.

However, saying that I also think it’s possible if Apple announce the new Air at WWDC that it will indeed get M2 as it’s likely M2 will be announced at WWDC this year and it would be a perfect time to plug the Air if it was to come with M2.

 

[ReturnAlt10]

I guess we will have to find out.

M2 won´t be much powerful over M1 so I can see how Kuo just mixed the rumor. From marketing point of view it´s ridiculous to send a new design MacBook with the "old" chip when the M1 should be refreshed anyway from standard point of view. BUT the Apple Silicon is a new thing and they (Apple) could change the srategy and feed consumer products segment solely with M1. Then again we wouldn´t see M2 in a while then. So I guess that ReturnAlt10 is on spot

 

[ReturnAlt10]

Thank you Franzkfk!

If it was coming with an M1 we'd know about it now. The Bloomberg article would have mentioned it being tested. Instead they mentioned 9 Macs. 1 of them an M2 MBA.

 

[ReturnAlt10]

Yeah, Apple wouldn’t use the same M1 chip which is nearly 2 years old.

It depends on which chips they use.

Lol, haven't seen that expression to discuss piss poor camera on the Air.

 

[AudiHeel]

Coming from a 2017 MacBook the M1 Air camera seems pretty good.
