Redesigned MacBook Pro Models With 10-Core Apple Silicon Chip Said to Launch as Early as This Summer

excitive said:
I think M1X is just a an extension of M1 and not a groundbreaking new chip. That'll be M2.

Anyhow there'll be enough work behind thermal and performance optimization for the Pro models and that's something to look for.

Will Apple announce them during WWDC next month? I need to make a purchase decision soon.

First, WELCOME ABOARD NEWBIE!!
I expect,M1X, or other named variant, I think M2 is next year. There is so much they can do to/with the M1, before they will move to anything called “M2”. My thoughts, I’m holding out for WWDC, my needs are modest,(still rocking with a 2013 MBA), still ,at 73, my next will be my last, so M2 has my name on it.
Lastly, this is a very well run Web Site, you will enjoy it, a wonderful source of news/views. Lots of thought provoking views to make you think. ENJOY!

I hope it performs better than the 2019 MBP16 model. My Macbook Pro 16-inch has serious overheating problems, like many other users. Google it. My old 2015 Macbook Pro had no issues at all when using the same apps. I am a Mac user for many years. Very disappointed in Apple. I hope the new Pro will be good quality again.

With the M whatever chips, overheating is done,Wonderful stuff.

How could I miss this line before.

I mean where do I start. Do we address the simple math issue where 3 is less than five? Nah. Too easy.


I'm so glad you completely understand the entirety of computer use on the planet, and have deemed that no one needs any more than three TB3 ports, and that HDMI is in fact a universal standard that everyone uses everywhere.

OK I'll be honest, I'm a little disappointed that they're talking about 10 instead of 12 cores. Performance cores at 8 are great, but every core is sacred. A youtube video using Logic showed a significant advantage to using all 8 cores in Logic, as opposed to just the performance cores that Logic defaults to using.

Theoretically if they do not increase the speed of the cores, and take two efficiency cores out, it's a 30% increase in CPU. Nice but not twice as powerful.

This is using this sites reported M1 CPU speeds into account:

As someone still using 1080p monitors and all about CPU crunching, it's going to make the decision between the Air or 13" pro and the next generation chip that much more difficult.

So here's hoping for a speed bump in the performance cores. :)

8+2 cores is hardly little on a laptop, though.

I believe the performance difference between the p- and e-core is far more drastic than the slight MHz difference would make you think. I recall a benchmark showing a factor of around 5.

Also, the later these ship, the more likely they are to not have Firestorm/Icestorm cores at all, but rather next generation's cores.

Im wondering if iMac 30” would have same new M2 MBP16 specs as in the low end devices. If so, the decision MBP16/iMac32 would be hard

I think the 30” imac will have the same processor choices as the 16” MBP.

Was really hoping the 24" would correspond to what goes into the 14" but I unfortunately not. Do you think the lower config of the 30" would take that instead?

We already know how things scale, since we have mac pros with many more cores than these. Should see some nice performance boosts.

Well I’m not so optimistic as multicore CPU really needs soft is developed with taht in mind, I’m not very optimistic in thinking how OS can bypass this. In example After effects renders faster in the latest iMac 27 than in any mac pro no matter how loaded it is.
same for many soft as Harmony, Animate, etc.
Logic can use a core for each track, just because was designed that way. Same for final cut.

again, i dont know how that works on GPUs, but i guess would be similar
And thats why 24 cores arent of any help for average user (at this moment)
