On the other hand, the Apple M2 will have fewer CPU cores, though they should change to a brand-new architecture and a brand-new node (which probably indicates greater clock speeds too). An earlier report from Nikkei Asia claimed that Apple will buy 3 nm chipsets next year for usage in brand-new iPad Pro models. Probably, this describes the M2 chip that will be shown the MacBook Air too (both devices count on only passive cooling, while the beefier M1X design will likely benefit from active cooling).

New MacBook Pros are supposedly all set to launch later on this year and they will be powered by the Apple M1X chipset, states @Dylandkt. Next year Apple will refresh the MacBook Air with a total redesign and the M2 chipset, which will be less effective.

Or instead of sharing chips in between kind elements, Apple may diversify its chipset lineup with dedicated phone, tablet, laptop and desktop chips. The Nikkei report currently discussed that the iPhone chips will be fabbed on a 4 nm process, so some diversity appears inescapable.
According to Dylan, the M1X will have a 10-core CPU with 8 huge and 2 efficient cores (compared to the M1, which has a 4 + 4 configuration). The GPU core count (8 on the current chip) can be doubled and even quadruped. There could be a brand-new Mac mini with the M1X too.
The M1X will be fabbed on TSMCs N5P procedure, an improved variation of the 5 nm node used for the current M1. The chip will more than likely usage the exact same core architecture as the M1, namely Firestorm and Icestorm cores that are likewise found in the A14.
