Apple will launch a new self-developed chip this year: up to 40 core CPUs

Apple has released its self-developed processors, including M1, M1 Max and M1 Pro, and used in including iPad Pro, Macbook and iMac, and according to the progress of the annual update, there is no doubt that apple will update the M series chips this year, and according to the previous news, starting from this year, Apple will upgrade the Mac Pro for workstations, from the original Intel processor to the self-developed M series processor, As a result, it completely broke up with Intel, and the new generation of Macbook Pro notebooks will use M2 processors.

At present, a reporter who has been tracking Apple for a long time has said on social media that Apple will launch a new generation of self-developed chips this year, including M2 processors and processors with massive scale for Mac Pro. Among them, the M2 processor does not have much change in specification compared to the first generation of M1 processors, mainly using 8-core CPU and 9/10-core GPU, while the current M1 processor uses 8-core CPU and 7/8-core GPU, giving people the feeling that the increase is similar to A12X to A12Z. However, the M series processors for Mac Pro are quite violent in terms of specifications, using a CPU with up to 40 cores and a GPU with 128 cores, which is obviously more powerful than the current M1 Max in terms of performance. However, considering the positioning of the Mac Pro, it is also reasonable to use such a powerful processor.

Apple is expected to unveil these processors at this year's WWDC 2022, in addition to launching a new generation of terminal products based on these processors this year. It looks like Apple will completely break up with Intel in the future.
