Apple's M1-powered Macs have received plenty of praise, suggesting that the performance and battery life have been greatly improved. Now, the company's next-generation custom processor for the Mac has entered mass production. It is surprising to see that Apple has already begun production of the M1 chip's successor for future Macs. Tentatively dubbed as the "M2", the chip will be used in the next MacBook models to be launched in the second half of this year.

The processors take three months to produce and shipping could begin in the July time frame, according to a report from Nikkei Asia. The production cycle portrays that the new M2 processors could potentially be incorporated into new MacBook models. Apple's M1 silicon was introduced last year as part of the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the Mac mini. The process surprised the industry with its performance while delivering enhanced battery life. The M2 chip in the forthcoming MacBook models would potentially see greater jumps.
