With Apple reportedly intending to launch redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with a faster custom chip, it is not going to leave the 2021 MacBook Pro leaving hang and dry. According to the latest info, the less expensive portable Mac will also see a performance boost and might even give customers some liberty in choosing some graphics options.

Bloomberg believes that the 2021 MacBook Air will arrive with an improved M1 chip. While the custom silicon’s codename is Staten, the report states that it will feature the same number of processing cores as the M1, but they will run faster. This can mean that either Apple will increase the clock speed of each high-performance core but a small margin, so it does not compromise the battery life.
