One of the main criticisms that has existed around computers with the Apple M1 is that the processor is exactly the same for both the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro , putting them so close to each other that it ends up being somewhat difficult to decide on one or the other for factors other than price.

However, it seems that Apple has this situation under control, because as we can read in LeaksApplePro, an even more powerful chip is on its way to give more power to the company’s most powerful computers, in this case the MacBook Pro from 16 inches.

The architecture of this processor s e would focus on 8 high-performance cores and another 4 more efficient cores for less demanding tasks , so that, according to the source of the information, the performance would be much higher.

In any case, although Apple M1X is a name that would fit with the nomenclatures that Apple usually uses for its processors, it seems that it is not a final name , so we could see how it changes later as more information is known about it or leaking performance results that show us the potential of this processor.
