Apple’s M2 chip should be available in four even more powerful versions to equip future computers, from the Mac Mini to the Mac Pro, including the 14- and 16-inch Macbook Pros.
During the last WWDC, Apple presented its new generation chip, the M2, which equips the latest models of Macbook Air and Macbook Pro from the manufacturer. But the apple brand does not intend to stop there.
M2 Pro and M2 Max for Mac Mini and Macbook Pro
In his newsletter power-onMark Gurman, famous journalist at Bloombergsays that Apple is preparing four versions of its chipset: the M2 Pro, M2 Max, M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme, which will offer varying degrees of performance.
The first concerned would be the Mac Mini, which should soon benefit from a refresh. This would be marketed in two configurations: one entry-level with the basic M2, which we have already seen at work on Apple’s 2022 laptops, and one better equipped and who would be entitled to an M2 Pro.
The MacBook Pro shouldn’t be left out either. If the 13.3-inch model had to “settle” for an M2 chip, the variants adopting a 14- and 16-inch format would benefit from better punching power thanks to the M2 Pro and M2 Max SoCs. It is not yet known when these machines could be released.
A Mac Pro under M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme
Mark Gurman also mentions two M2 chips aimed at the very high end, with potential M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme. It’s the Mac Pro that should have the honor of being powered by these two premium systems-on-chips. These should deliver absolutely phenomenal performance for professional uses. Apple had just hinted that a new Mac Pro was in development.
However, we have no news for the iMac. The next iteration of the range should not arrive immediately, and it could well be that Apple directly launches an iMac under M3 chip by skipping a generation. But even without it, the next few months will be busy in terms of Apple-stamped computer releases.
