Apple has already announced the M2 chipset under its Apple Silicon lineup and has also launched the first MacBook powered by the new processor. Now, the company is gearing up to expand the lineup of Mac devices with the M2 series chips.
In line with that, it is being reported that the Cupertino-based technology giant is all set to start the mass production of Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch models powered by the new chipset sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.
The new report coming from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also adds that the company won’t be using the 3nm chipset produced by TSMC but will instead stick with the 5nm chip. This contradicts previous reports which claimed that the M2 Pro and Max would be manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process.
The Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch models were launched by the company last year, powered by the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. So, we expect the upcoming refreshed version of the laptop to be powered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max processors.
Whatever the case, it’s almost confirmed that TSMC will soon start manufacturing new chips for Apple based on the 3nm process, and it’s just a matter of time to see which MacBook device ends up being the first to come powered by the 3nm chips.
