The Apple M2 Pro SoC has already been rumoured to offer 12 cores, and feature in a new Mac mini, MacBook Pro and even an iPad.
Earlier this week, Apple unveiled the first of its second generation desktop chips, the Apple M2, at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2022. The new M2 system-on-chip (SoC) features improvements such as 18% faster CPU performance from the 8-core layout, and 35% faster GPU performance from a new 10-core layout. However, the M2 is still based on the 5nm fabrication process, the same as the older generation M1 SoC. This, according to a report by the technology research division of Hong Kong-based investment bank Haitong International Securities Group, could change soon with the arrival of the Apple M2 Pro SoC.
