Tf international securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’strongly believes’ that the upcoming MacBook Air redesign will feature an M1 chip, instead of the widely expected’M2′ upgrades. Kuo predicted an’all-new’ design for the laptop with more color options and no mini LED display.
Apple can of course decide its own renaming for its chips based on marketing reasons. The M1 chips, including the M1 Pro, Max, and the just-announced Ultra, all use various configuration of CPU cores.
Apple is testing an unnamed chip with 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores. That could either be the M2 or an upgraded M1.
