In a couple of months, Apple is expected to unveil new MacBook Pro models during the second quarter of 2021. While there’s plenty to look forward to from these new machines, one thing, in particular, will be the new Apple Silicon powering the newer models. According to rumors, it might be called the M1X, and a leaked specs sheet shows it’s a major step-up compared to the M1 powering Apple’s current lineup.

According to fresh specifications shared on CPU Monkey, we should expect the M1X to be a beast of an SoC. Firstly, according to the table, the M1X will feature a 12-core CPU. Previously, even a tipster remarked that the next Apple Silicon would feature a 12-core CPU, so this could be the company’s next chip. The table shows that the 12-core part will be divided into eight Firestorm performance cores and four Icestorm power-efficiency ones.
