The year 2022 is all about the Mac, lots of new Apple computers are in the starting blocks, including new MacBooks. But what exactly can users look forward to? Insider Marc Gurman knows the plan and tells us about it.
Despite the continued success of the iPhone and iPad, the Mac platform is alive and well. This year, Apple will introduce a whole armada of new computers. Insider and Bloomberg reporter Marc Gurman is currently revealing detailed plans for this (source: Power-on newsletter).
The Apple chips in the new MacBooks and Co.
First of all, the focus is on the processors. The upcoming computers will be fueled by three different chip categories, depending on the model, Apple selects the appropriate "engine". You can choose from:
Apple M2 - the successor to the M1, slightly faster. However, Apple keeps the same eight-core architecture. On the other hand, the chip could increase in graphics performance, possibly to 9 or 10 cores (previously 7 or 8). Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max – we already know them from last year's MacBook Pro. Apple M1 Max with "super powers" - intended for the new Mac Pro. There should be two versions, one doubles the performance of the already known M1 Max, the other quadruples it. In numbers, this means 20 CPU cores and 64 graphics cores or 40 CPU cores and 128 graphics cores.We will still see the super-fast chips of the MacBook Pro in the Mac mini and a larger iMac in 2022:
7 new Mac models planned for 2022
In total, Gurman comes up with seven models in his compilation of the Mac novelties of the year 2022:
New Mac mini with the M1 Pro. MacBook Pro (13 inch) with M2, successor to the current M1 model, located below the 14 and 16 inch models and in the old design. A "regular" Mac mini with the M2. Update of the iMac (24 inch) with the Apple M2. New design MacBook Air and Apple M2. A larger iMac (27-inch) with your choice of M1 Pro or M1 Max. A "half-height" Mac Pro with the already mentioned, even faster M1 Max.The only question left is: When will the Apple computers come out? The MacBook Pro with the M2 chip and the Mac mini with the M1 Pro will start, probably as early as March 8 (rumored keynote date). The second round will then follow in May and June – the larger iMac (iMac Pro) and the Mac Pro can be expected here. The rest would have to follow later in the year. Next year (2023) there will be the Pro and Max versions of the M2, accompanied by an M3 for "normal" computers.
