So M1 was the SoC for the lower power Macs - Air, Mini and 2 port 13”.

Wonder what they’ll come up with for full port 13”, 16” and iMac.



Hopefully they keep Mx line as power efficient everyday chips, and create something really ludicrous (P1?) for the high end models. It’s about time that the “Pro” devices started being actually pro. Massive cache, on chip ECC memory, etc.

The top of the line’s i9 MacBook really doesn’t cut it for a lot of professional work —- especially when it thermally throttles before the work can even begin.


I feel like if they were going to do this right now they would have offered 32gb configurations on the M1 devices... as it stands they're going to have to offer attractive ~$2k devices for creative professionals who don't need bleeding edge cpu performance but would like a 20h battery and native ios apps.


I thought throttling issues were resolved with current-gen 16” i9?


Keeping with previous naming schemes it'll either be some kind of M1X or an "M2".
