Shocking leak from Apple’s MacBook Pro confirms massive update

With the launch of Macs with Apple Silicon technology, Apple launched a challenge for its competitors. And the Cupertino-based company is not resting on these benchmarks. Plans for 2021 improvements to the M1 chip along with some new hardware are impressive enough, but the big change in 2022 will be a shock to the competition.

The M1 architecture is built around the manufacture of 5 nm silicon. According to the latest reports, Apple placed an order with TSMC for manufacturing 3nm. The GSMArena team has more:

“Sources familiar with the matter say that the [3nm] the chips are likely to power future iPads and MacBooks. This means that we will see 5nm or maybe 5nm + chips for another year. TSMC is almost ready with the certification process, so it will probably start experimental production next year, while mass production will take place in 2022.

“While the rumor talks about the MacBook and iPad M series chips, it’s probably safe to assume that iPhones in 2022 are likely to use the same technology.”

The debut of the ARM-based Apple Silicon with MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and mac Mini with M1 machines gave the macOS platform a huge opportunity in terms of raw performance. In the average consumer space, the two MacBooks are offering powerful alternatives with higher benchmarking results than comparable Windows 10 laptops.

Those who are already integrated into the macOS platform will welcome these improvements when it comes time to update their Macs. Those looking to jump from Windows 10 have to make a more complicated decision, with investments in a new user interface, the macOS versions of their main applications and the integration of their workflow into the Apple cloud.

Sometimes, power is not everything.

Many of today’s top apps are available on multiple platforms. If the single investment to change platforms is associated with continuous time savings, the move to Apple’s new architecture will be attractive. But the three new machines are probably not the best investment. They are certainly at the forefront, and I have no doubt that Apple has planned several years of hardware development for the portfolio that follows the first three,

The M1 processor will be the slowest Apple Silicon chip for the Mac family. The next step in improvements (the so-called M1X iteration and the next M2 step) is expected to launch on the new 2021 hardware; my money is on a high-end MacBook Pro for the M1X and the first iMac and Mac Pro to launch with the new ARM hardware.

It should come as no surprise that Apple has pre-booked a significant amount of 5 nm chip manufacturing lines, and the demand is so high that Apple’s exclusivity with TSMC may need to become a ‘preferred partner’ status. ‘as Samsung Foundry seeks a part of the action.

Thanks to the latest reports, we can see what happens in 2022, that is, the launch of a new class M processor built with 3nm technology. This should give Apple hardware the choice of higher performance compared to 5nm chips, reduced power consumption or a combination of both. Given the gains already shown by M1 on Intel Core chips, it is unlikely that we would see the same massive gain in performance.

But with the move to 3nm manufacturing and the technical gains to be found, improvements in macOS software from feedback from countless consumers with new hardware and improvements in the physical design of new Macs to optimize performance, will see Apple continues to push boundaries as the competition races to reach them.
