Apple does not rest for a second from the success of the M1 and wants to launch the SoC M2 this year to bring new products to life. New details have been unveiled for the upcoming 24-inch iMacs, which will equip Apple M processors alongside the new Mac Pro.
The Apple M2 will be the SoC of choice for those in Cupertino to power their next iMacs and Mac Pro, which come with a major redesign. Following the success of the Apple M1, the company has decided to extend its line of processors to other more demanding products. And, for what a Mac is used, it is a very interesting option, which offers a brutal reduction in consumption.
Apple M2 will be equipped in iMac and Mac Pro
Hello, 1998.

iMacs.
Colors.
They’re back. 😳https://t.co/Rho9SmK9I6 pic.twitter.com/YkKgoEFYCa
Jon Prosser has leaked the possible design of the next iMac of 24 inches, which will come in 5 different metallic colors: pink, blue, green, black And, steel? We don't know, but they look incredibly good and their design could be a reference to those released in 1998.
On the other hand, the design of the possible new Mac Pro has been seen, a design that is half as large as the previous model. It would follow the G4 Cube concept, which is divided into 2 rooms: the upper part is covered by a radiator and the entire PC is placed in the lower part.
According to the source, Apple expects to launch this Mac Pro and 24-inch iMac in 2021, but what chips will power these teams? The chosen one would be the SoC M2, which will be an improved version of the Apple M1. Of course, it will be based on the same 5nm process, but the novelty would be in the increase in cores: from 32 to 64, although 100% is not yet known.
Will they continue with Intel-equipped Mac products? In principle, it will take time to complete the transition from Intel x86 processors to Apple's SoC, which is produced by TSMC. The current platform still has margins for increased performance and compatibility with AMD GPUs.
Despite the fact that many claimed that Apple's SoCs would be insufficient to compete with x86 processors, we have been surprised. Not only have they shown better performance than i7, i5 and several low-power Ryzen, but their composition (SoC) allows to increase the autonomy of the notebooks being used with high workloads.
It was logical to think that they would not outperform low-power AMD or Intel processors, but Apple did a great job designing this SoC, which is already an option in their laptops.
Do you think the future will be filled with computers equipped with SoCs?
