The M2 chip is known by an official code name “Staten,” and it is built of the A15 processor. Similar to the M1, the M2 will have eight cores, however it will also have an ten-core GPU. In the event that it was unclear that the M2 will be a sequel to the M1’s vanilla model however Apple is currently developing M2 Pro, M2 Max as well as M2 Ultra.
This source also confirms rumors of Apple launch the 13.3″ MacBook Pro in 2022. It’s codenamed J493. The laptop may be launched with only “MacBook” because Apple may be considering getting rid of the “Pro” designation for this machine. We haven’t heard from Apple regarding the launch of these laptops but we’re expecting them to be released later in the year.
