Recently, some media broke the news that Apple is developing an iteration of the M1 chip, which is likely to be called the “M2 chip”. It is reported that products including the new MacBook Air and the new 13-inch MacBook will use this chip with a high probability, and both devices will be released later this year.
Among these new products, the new MacBook Air is obviously more interesting. In addition to carrying the M2 chip, this device will also feature a new design. It has been previously reported that the new MacBook Air has a colorful body design similar to the iMac, and has a more square appearance. In addition, the new MacBook Air is expected to be equipped with a “notch screen” with a higher screen-to-body ratio.
Another M2 chip is likely to be the 13-inch MacBook. This device does not appear to be the thin and light notebook of its time, but a product with the same design as the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and this product is also expected to debut at the same time as the MacBook Air.
It is understood that the new M2 chip will most likely use the same 8-core CPU as the M1 chip, but the chip will most likely have 9-core and 10-core GPUs to meet the needs of different consumers.
