MacBook Pro
Apple will hold a new product launch event as early as 3 May, the beginning of 2022it’s been rumored.。And this time, just at that time, supply chain information was told that MacBook Pro equipped with 2nd generation Apple original development chip “M2” will be released.
“It is reported that Apple will launch a series of new MacBook Pro models using the latest M2 processor, 5G iPhone SE and iPad in the low-cost range in early May,” said DigiTimes, a Taiwanese electronic component industry news magazine.This downward trend is “reported” while adding that “sources say so”, and credibility is blurred.
“Most of the non-processor components used in the new MacBook Pro are almost identical to existing models with M1 chips, so the MacBook Pro supply chain partners will continue to produce during the 1 week Lunar New Year holiday to meet the growing demand for the Mac series,” DigiTimes said in a statement.
There is no detailed information such as the size of the MacBook Pro in this article, but speaking of “MacBook Pro” equipped with M1 chip, only the 13-inch MacBook Pro of the cheap model.It is probably assumed that it means the successor of this model released in 2020 year 11 month.
The “M2” chip here is a processor rumored to be an improved version of the M1 chip.While its CPU core is 8, like M1, the GPU core is increased from the conventional 7-8 to 9-10, and it is expected to operate fasteris expected.。
Speaking of the cheap MacBook Pro with “M2″、Bloomberg, USAWe have just reported that the new product will be released by the end of 2022.Until now, the M1 version MacBook Pro is expected to appear in the second half of 2022 after the Mac mini that adopted the M1 Pro and M1 Max, and the new Mac Pro loaded with its high-level processors appeared.was seen.。
This DigiTimes coverage has some discrepancies with those sources.First of all, the release time is quite early.2nd, the Touch Bar is removed in the preceding rumor、It has the same enclosure as the 14-inch model and has the same external portIt was consistent in the direction that “the design will be revamped”, but what DigiTimes claims is that “most of the non-processors are the same specification”.
DigiTimes’ supply chain information is reliable, but because it is close to the production site, the final product specification and release time are out of the question.Other models equipped with M2Rumors that the MacBook Air is ahead in the second half of 2022There are also questions such as how to position the 2021 13-inch MacBook Pro, which has just replaced the processor between it and the current high-end model MacBook Pro.
At the Apple Spring event above, we are expecting announcements such as the 3rd generation iPhone SE and 5th generation iPad Air.Each time, “While many new product announcements are expected in advance, some are shoulder watermarks” is an annual event, so it may be better not to expect too much except these 2.
