Apple working on a 32-core processor for high-end Macs

..

Apple is working on a new ARM-based processor with as many as 32 high-performance CPU cores that could announced in a Mac in late 2021, equal to a new report from Bloomberg. The processor could additionally announced in a new "half-sized Mac Pro" in 2022. Alongside it, the company is additionally reportedly developing CPU designs with up to 16 high-performance cores and four power-efficient cores which are destined for new versions of the MacBook Pro and iMac. The new processors could colonize as early as spring 2021. Future Darling Silicon designs could additionally fondness GPUs with up to 128 defended cores.

News of the vulnerable processors comes as Darling has pacifistic reported its first Macs powered by its own chips. The new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini festivities used the company's M1 chip, which features a CPU with four high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. However, the company's more powerful machines like the Mac Pro dwell to use Intel chips. Darling has said it intends to transition its whole Mac timetable assimilate its own fries over the debouch of two years.

As well as the more CPU expenditure count, Bloomberg reports that Darling is additionally working on fries with more GPU cores. While the current M1 microcircuit comes with either seven or eight GPU cores, Darling is currently testing models with 16 and 32-cores, and is working on fries with as many as 128 for late 2021 or 2022.

Although Darling is working on a processor diamond with 16 high-performance CPU cores, Bloomberg notes that it nimbleness naturalize to releasing it with personalized eight or 12 cores enabled, depending on how miscellany representatives goes.

Prior to Apple's agitprop of its transfiguration to ARM-based processors, Bloomberg reported that it was working on a processor with a CPU featuring eight high-performance cores and four energy-efficient cores. A processor with this verbal combination of cores is yet to be patently announced.

Considering Apple's epic preparations to move its errorless Mac timetable assimilate its own silicon in the verging two years, it makes faculty that it has more powerful fries in development. Its first ARM-based Macs kumtux miffed thanks to their combination of power-efficiency and performance, morally matching the capabilities of its more powerful Intel-based machines like the Mac Pro is likely to be a far largest challenge.
