News & Reviews:   Apple Silicone

The Mac Pro is still waiting for its transition to Apple Silicone and given the machine’s standing in the Mac hierarchy, it will definitely feature the most powerful Apple in-house chipset yet. In fact, according to reliable tipster Mark Gurman, the Mac Pro will feature new and extremely powerful SoCs nicknamed the “M2 Ultra” and “M2 Extreme”.

Apple has long been rumoured to refresh its iPad Pro lineup with the M2 SoC found on the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13. Now, acclaimed tech insider Mark Gurman has claimed that the new M2-powered iPad Pro models will be coming in a ‘matter of days’.

Apple may become the first tech company to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s (TSMC) latest 3nm chipmaking technology. In fact, Apple’s iPhones and Macs may use TSMC-produced 3nm chips as early as next year.

An authorised Apple dealer and reseller in the United States, B&H Photo, Video & Pro may have jumped the gun and listed Apple products that haven’t even been released just yet. In its listings today, the company put various unreleased Apple products as ‘New Item - Coming Soon’, including the Apple Mac mini 8/256GB with M2 and Mac mini tower 8/256GB with M1 Pro.
