來自曾準確爆料的 @dylandkt 近日的消息,Apple 最快會在 2022 年初於新 MacBook Air 使用 M2 處理器。而 MacBook Air 2022 更會使用彩色外型設計(像 iMac 24 吋?)。
Just wanted to share some details on when to expect the next generation M2 (not the M1X which is reserved for the Pro Mac devices). This processor is on track to release in the first half of 2022 alongside the upcoming colorful Macbook (Air).

M1X VS M2
而 M1X 則會用於 Pro Mac 裝置,估計可能是指 MacBook Pro 14 及 MacBook Pro 16。雖然 M1X 看似不及 M2,然而過去 A 系的 X 晶片往往在性能上也超出同系晶片,因此不必擔心性能上不及 M2。
而估計,M1X 的核心數目會比 M1 多,最少會有 8 核效能核心。而 GPU 核更可達 16 或 32 個,再加上支援 64 GB RAM、8TB SSD 以及 4 組 Thunderbolt 。
M1X is an extension of the M1 that will contain more thunderbolt channels, more cpu cores, more gpu cores, and greater power draw. The M1X will be featured in the Higher end Mac Mini, the Macbook Pro 14 and 16, and a higher end iMac.
