Just a few days ago, he finally saw the light of the long-awaited Apple M2, and as unbelievable as it may seem, we are already talking about the Apple M2 Max, which will succeed the Apple M1 Maxa chip that Apple introduced last October with the M1 Pro, which is currently found in the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, as well as in the still recent Mac Studio, where we can also find the top of the M1 generation, the Apple M1 Ultra.

As we told you when it was announced, the Apple M2 integrates an eight-core CPU (same as in M1) and a GPU with up to ten cores (up to two cores more than in M1), yes, with more design enhancements they provide according to those from Cupertino a very important leap in terms of performance. And of course This is what we expect from the future Apple M2 Max, Pro and Ultrapart of which could make its debut this year.

If the M2 represents a certain evolutionary leap compared to the M1, in the case of the Apple M2 Max, given the latest leaks, signed by Mark Gurman in Bloomberg, it seems that we can expect a bigger leap. And compared to a ten-core CPU and a GPU with up to 32 cores, The Apple M2 Max would have a 12-core CPU accompanied by a GPU that can scale up to 38 coresthe whole beast of the chip, from whose hand the long-awaited leap on the Apple Silicon Mac Pro, the only system in Apple’s catalog that still uses Intel chips, may arrive this time.

Of course, that’s not the end of it. Do you remember that we told you in December 2020 that Apple had bought the entire three-meter TSMC production and that just a year later it escaped that Apple was already testing the technology? Now rumors suggest that the Apple M2 Max could be the first Apple integrated device designed on this scale. If so, we can expect a significant leap not only in performance but also in efficiency, which Apple has been focusing on for a few years.

Forecasts suggest that TSMC will begin mass production of the Apple M2 Max later this year, in the fourth quarter, so we can look forward to the debut of the first devices equipped with it (possibly a MacBook Pro). between the beginning and the middle of next year, between April and May. This would make sense, as the approximately one-year period would be maintained, which also separated the arrival of the Apple M1 from the arrival of the Apple M1 Max.
