The new upcoming chipset is titled M1X, but the name isn’t final as of yet. The Apple M1X offers more cores and more performance than the benchmark-beating M1 chipset, and it will be a powerhouse compared with the previous chipset.
The M1X chipset will come with 12 CPU cores as compared to the eight cores that are found in the Apple M1 chipset. M1 chip, on the other hand, has its eight CPU cores divided into four performance cores (Firestorm) and four power-efficient cores (Icestorm).

As the same leaker who has brought us information about Apple’s M1X has also provided us with yet another information. Apparently, the new chipset will be featured in the new MacBook Pro 16 system.
It is big news for fans around the globe. As Apple transitions from Intel CPUs to its very own ARM-based chipset, the performance, as well as power efficiency, will be improved for its future devices. all the fans as well as non-fans of Apple products can appreciate the quality of the company’s processors and also it will be a curious thing to see how an M1X might perform. M1 is already leading in benchmark scores and if M1X is better than M1, we might have ourselves a new showdown in 2021.
