It’s been months since we started getting reports about Apple working on a new Apple Silicon chipset — M1X. The devices were expected to get launched in the past couple of months but have been delayed because of production issues.
Now, a new report indicates that Apple is gearing up to launch its new MacBook Pro laptops powered by the M1X chipset later this month, i.e. October 2021. This is also in line with a recent report that suggested new MacBook Pro devices going on sale in a few weeks.
The upcoming Apple MacBook Pro models are expected to come with an all-new design and two display options — 14-inch and 16-inch, featuring a Mini-LED screen. They are expected to feature a flat-edged design, a MagSafe charging port, and a few more ports, including HDMI and an SD-card slot reader.
As for the M1X chipset, it could come packed with a 10-core CPU with eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, along with 16 or 32-core GPU options and support for up to 64GB RAM. As per the reports, Ruiyi Optoelectronics will be the exclusive supplier of the new Mini-LED panels while Quanta Computer will be responsible for the final assembly of the upcoming MacBook devices.
Apart from the MacBook, there are a few other Mac devices planned by Apple. Previously it was reported that soon after the MacBook Pro launch, the Cupertino-based tech giant could launch a new high-end Mac Mini, followed by a new iMac and Mac Pro next year.
