Whats next for Apple Silicon Macs?
Apple Silicon has been a long time coming, Dan Hansen writes. Think more CPU cores, more GPU cores, more memory, and new designs. Dan Hansen via Medium:  To the disappointment of many, the rumors that swirled in the run-up to WWDC, of a new MacBook Pro to be announced at the event keynote on June 7, have been proven incorrect. But those rumors have since been shown to have a likely factual basis via m1x and  M1X MacBook Pro keyword tags attached to the WWDC keynote video. Keeping in mind that even the most well-sourced rumors can be derailed by changing circumstances, a recent report by Bloombergs Mark Gurman provides details of the following four upcoming M-series chips:   Jade C-Die: 8 high-performance cores / 2 energy-efficient cores, 32 GPU cores.  Jade 2C-Die: 16 high-performance cores / 4 energy-efficient cores, 64 GPU cores.  Jade 4C-Die: 32 high-performance cores / 8 energy-efficient cores, 128 GPU cores.  Staten: 4 high-performance cores / 4 energy-efficient cores, 10 GPU cores. While Apple tends to release new Macs in the fall, the WWDC keynote video keyword tags seem to indicate that the release of the updated MacBook Pros is imminent, no later than the end of July. If Apple follows the pattern of the initial Apple silicon Mac release, the higher-end Mac mini will be included in this launch. The larger iMac would also seem to be a candidate to co-launch with the MacBook Pros, but like the 24-inch iMac, it may be pushed back by a few months. The fall should bring the higher-end MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook and at least some mention of the Mac Pro. Possibly an update to the current Intel-based model, and/or a preview of the Apple silicon model, but the current expectation is that M-series Mac Pro wont ship before next year.
