Last year, Apple continued to introduce higher-spec M1 Pro and M1 Max chips for use in other product lines.
Recently, according to foreign media reports, Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman said that Apple will hold a conference in March this year to release a series of new devices, including the MacBook Pro with the latest M2 chip, entry-level 5G iPhone SE and new iPad.
It is understood that this release should be an updated version of the entry-level 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro, in addition to the processor upgrade to M2 chip, the specifications of most other components used in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro are almost similar to the existing models with M1 chips.
However, the slight contradiction with the news is that in an earlier foreign media report, it was said that the new MacBook Pro 13 equipped with M2 chips, as an entry-level product, will cut off the Touch Bar, and have different degrees of shrinkage in terms of screen, storage capacity, etc., and there is no ProMotion high brush, nor will it use the miniLED material screen, but it will be further close to the people in terms of price, and there is a chance to explore a lower range.
Of course, the new M2 chip should be the focus of the majority of users, there is news that its CPU core number is the same as the M1 chip, but slightly improved the architecture design to further improve performance and energy consumption, the GPU part is to provide up to 10 cores. Perhaps the upgrade of M2 to M1 is also an optimization improvement similar to A15 to A14.
