Two unannounced Apple MacBooks appear before 2023 launch, may come with M2 Pro, M2 Max chips we know so far
Apple is set to introduce the upgraded Macbooks next year (2023). The MacBook Pro with M2 Pro could be the new crown jewel in Apple’s laptop range, although it’s taking longer to arrive than we thought. As much as we love the 14-inch MacBook and 16-inch MacBook, it feels about time that we got updated versions using the latest in Apple’s chipsets, which also provide greater levels of speed, performance, and graphics as well as bigger memory configurations.
Both models are listed with 0 percent usage on Steam. However, their placement suggests that the tech giant may be testing the unannounced laptops with forthcoming Apple silicon processors on Steam’s gaming platform.
Apple initially intended to release the new MacBook Pro models this fall, but instead decided to wait until 2023. Upcoming Macs could include MacBook Pro models with 14- and 16-inch screens, the Mac Studio, and the much-awaited Mac Pro upgrade.
The M2 Max chip that should power some of the upcoming Mac Pro models likely features a 12-core CPU operating at 3.54GHz and up to 96GB of RAM, suggesting that users may have the ability to install more memory than the present 64GB option. According to a Geekbench listing, the Apple M2 Max chip achieved scores of 13855 on the multi-core test and 1853 on the single-core test.
Users who are less fussed about maximum performance potential, and are instead interested in a high-quality display, a bevy of ports, and a long-lasting battery are likely better off going for a MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, or even the MacBook Air M2. But if you need all the computing power you can get (or just simply want it), then it may be worth hanging on for a couple more months as the next generation of MacBook Pros with M2 Pro is likely to once again break the barriers of Mac performance.
