'M1X' MacBook Pro set to arrive in 'several weeks'
Xed said:ppietra said:verne arase said:ppietra said:"high-end M1 chips"
seems weird that Apple would take 1 year to ship new MacBook Pro with just some new version of the M1, when it already has new CPU cores ready to use...
Just imagine that the new A15 iPhone SoC will almost certainly have better single core performance than the M1 in many tests.
Meanwhile, M1x is already built on the A14 architecture and apparently has been ready to ship since June.
M2 should be built on the new A15 technology, and should replace M1 - and Apple may rejigger the core counts and configurations. We should hear more about improvements to the A15's architecture on Tuesday.
There is nothing that stops Apple from having a new architecture ready for both kinds of SoC - they basically did that last year, one month between launches is nothing. It’s not like Apple doesn’t have the resources to develop more than one SoC at the same time, they did it a few times with the X series SoC.
And there is no proof that they actually made a M1X, or thought about using a M1X, it could have been an M2X all along.
The weird part is launching a new Mac CPU that is already outdated by a new iPhone SoC, where some software will have better performance on an iPhone than on a brand new high end MacBook Pro.
There is nothing that stops Apple from launching more than one SoC at the same time - the past demonstrates such capability. That capability is a fact, while the existence of a M1X, M2 or M2X are not facts, are assumptions. -

'iPhone 13' A15 chip performance continues dominance over Android rivals

iPhone prototypes out of factory don’t usually run full iOS capable of using these benchmarks. Only hardware flashed by Apple with the correct iOS version could do this, and those prototypes wouldn’t be circulating in China or Korea, at least not in July, so many months before release - those would be in Cupertino!
I am not talking about benchmarks done on iPhones 1-2 weeks before launch, I am talking benchmarks on iPhones months before launch (here they say in July) -
