It is possible that the advanced processor will have 12 cores of 3.2 GHz, including eight high-performance cores, called Firestorm, and four cores, dubbed Icestorm and focused on energy efficiency. For comparison, the original M1 chip has only eight cores. The M1X will also have a 16-core graphics processing unit (GPU) with 256 execution units, which means that it could offer up to twice the graphics performance compared to the M1, which features an 8-core GPU and 128 units. of execution. It will also have a maximum operating memory of 32 GB and a thermal design power of up to 35 W. CPU Monkey ensures that the chip will be used in new generation Mac computers: in particular, it is the MacBook Pro 14 and 16 inches and the iMac 27. This suggests that Tim Cook’s company could stop using Intel processors in its devices in the coming months. The company itself has not yet commented on the rumors, so so far we can only hope for the official launch of the new chip.
The CPU Monkey portal, which specializes in processor reviews, has shared the possible characteristics of Apple’s new chip for Mac, dubbed the M1X, which is expected to be presented this year.
The advanced processor is likely to feature 12 3.2 GHz cores, including eight high-performance cores, called Firestorm, and four cores, baptized as Icestorm and focused on energy efficiency. For comparison, the original M1 chip has only eight cores.

Apple took a whole year to finish a project that could bring him a fortune
The company itself still has not commented on the rumors, so so far we only have to wait for the official launch of the new chip.
