Mac: the transition to Apple Silicon will be completed in 2022
Apple will continue to switch its Macs that currently have Intel processors to its Apple Silicon chips, and the transition is expected to be completed in 2022. According to information from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, that could be wrapped up by WWDC in June.
The transition to Apple Silicon completed by WWDC 2022?
Apple is reportedly currently making a new Mac Pro, a more powerful Mac mini, and a new iMac Pro, all with Apple Silicon chips and not Intel processors.
In detail, the Cupertino company would prepare a smaller Mac Pro than the current model with up to 40 cores at the processor level and 128 cores at the graphics level. There are no new details regarding the more powerful Mac mini and the larger iMac Pro.
Either way, we should be entitled to several new Macs by June. The first to land could be the Mac mini. After all, there had been rumors of a launch in the last quarter of 2021. Perhaps there was a slight delay and it will be for the first quarter of 2022. The iMac Pro could follow in the spring. As for the Mac Pro, Apple could well make a presentation in June during the WWDC.
New MacBook Air M2 and MacBook Pro
In the process, Mark Gurman reiterates that Apple will offer in 2022 a MacBook Air that would have a new design and the M2 chip, as well as a new MacBook Pro that is more affordable and less efficient than the latest ones that have M1 Pro chips. / Max.
A priori, the M2 chip will be slightly faster than the M1 chip which saw the light of day at the end of 2020 without this being a radical change. There would still be eight cores at the processor level (four performance cores and four efficient cores). It would be a little better in terms of the graphics with nine or ten cores, against seven or eight with the M1 chip.
