Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro has ample size and the necessary thickness to cool a beefier Apple Silicon. The only problem is, a tipster believes that it will sport the same 5nm M1 chip as the current-generation models released. With this revelation, it is possible the new machine doesn’t feature the rumored M1X.

According to a tweet published by DuanRui, there might be no performance difference between the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro and current-generation M1 Macs since they both might be using the same silicon. Even though the M1X has been listed as a powerful 12-core part before, the tipster believes the upcoming MacBook Pro will still be treated to an 8-core Apple Silicon.
