Apple To Bring 32-Core CPUs & 12-Core M1 Chips Next Year

Apple proved itself again last month that there is no parallel to them in the chip industry when they presented Apple M1 chip to the world. The Custom made chipset from the company outshone even the powerful Core i9 CPUs from Intel.

Now the company is rumoured to be working on new CPUs with up to 20-cores for the Macs that will come next year. These beasts of a chip will be powering the MacBook Pros and the iMacs covering the basic lineup to the beefed up ones. The report claims these chipsets will have 16 performance cores and 4 power cores.

The timeline suggests that Apple could unveil 8 or 12-core chips in the first half of the year and bring out the 20-core SoCs in the later part of it which will be powering the MBPs. When it comes to Macs that number of cores could be as high as 32, claims the source.

The company will bring out 16 or 32-core GPUs to complement the CPUs and if they push it, we might even see a 128 GPU-cores that could be “several times faster” than what Nvidia and AMD makes. All eyes are on the Spring event 2021 where the company is expected to announce the new chipsets and CPUs.

Even when no concrete date has been announced and its way too early for that, the tech community is optimistic about the outcomes. If all things go well, we might even see Apple computers taking the throne of best gaming computers from its Windows counterparts as the company has announced that with the M1 chip iOS apps will work on its MacBooks as well.
