Apple started transitioning from Intel chips to its own in-house Apple Silicon chips last year with the MacBook series. So far, the company has launched three chips for Mac which are based on the ARM architecture.
Now, a new report claims that the Cupertino-based technology giant is working on a successor of all the existing three chips which will be named Apple M2, M2 Pro, and the M2 Max, and has also shared some key details.
Further, citing information from the supply chain industry sources, the report adds that the company will be updating the Apple Silicon lineup every 18 months in the future.
It is claimed that Apple will be launching the first M2 processor codenamed Staten in the second half of 2022 and in the first half of 2023, there will be a new M2X processor with the codename Rhodes. There will be M2 Pro and M2 Max chips with different graphic cores.
All the chips in Apple Silicon’s M2 lineup will be manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) using the 4nm process. It is also speculated that the successor of the M2 series, which is likely to be the M3 lineup, will be manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process.
The upcoming M2 series chips from the tech giant Apple will be used across six products from the brand. It is said that the MacBook will be equipped with an M2 processor while the MacBook Pro lineup will have M2 Pro and M2 Max options.
Similarly, the iMac will be powered by the M2 chipset while the iMac Pro will come packed with the M2 Pro and M2 Max. There will also be Mac Mini with an M2 processor and a Mac Pro equipped with the M2 Pro and M2 Max.
