The concentration of such a crucial industry in one place has begun to cause geopolitical jitters, especially as China increasingly threatens Taiwan, a self-ruled democracy that the Chinese Communist Party claims and has vowed to one day seize. TSMC alone accounts for nearly 50% of the world’s production of chips below 10nm. Taiwan plays an outsized role in the global chip industry. TSMC’s South Korean rival Samsung began mass production of its 3nm chips in June. For instance, the Intel-based Mac Pro is capable of adding GPUs (including AfterBurner), which will be less relevant to the Apple Silicon chip architecture.TSMC TO OPEN FIRST EUROPE CHIP PLANT IN GERMANY Moreover, the new Apple Silicon Mac Pro is supposed to be another whole animal regarding upgrades, and thus prices. It’s interesting to see how the new M2 (or M1X) Mac Pro performs compared to its Intel-based twin. Next-Generation Apple Silicon M2 Mac ProĪpple engineers are currently developing a new Mac Pro that looks like the current design at about half the size. The new Intel-based Mac Pro was announced in June 2019 as a machine dedicated to professionals. It’s obvious that Apple’s chip architecture can help the company reduce the size of its computers due to increased power efficiency, but the current Mac Pro is large, in part, to fit components like additional storage drives and graphics chips. It’s unclear if that Mac will replace the current Mac Pro or if it’s an additional model. Sources confirmed to Bloomberg that Apple engineers are currently developing a new Mac Pro that looks like the current design at about half the size. The company is already full power on a redesigned Mac Pro model, Apple’s highest-end desktop. Apple stated that after updating its laptop line, Apple will still have until 2022 to update desktop computers - the iMac (updated recently), iMac Pro, Mac Pro, and Mac mini which has already been updated with its own processors. Indeed, when the new M1 Macs have launched, Apple promised that the transition away from Intel chips will take two years. Nikkei Asia Apple Silicon Mac Proįurthermore, sources said to Nikkei Asia, that the M1 successors (M2/ M1X) will eventually be implemented in other Mac and Apple devices beyond the MacBook, which means three models remained: MacBook Pro 16-inch, iMac Pro, and the mighty Mac Pro. Shipments of the new chipset - tentatively known as the M2 (or M1X), after Apple’s current M1 processor - could begin as early as July for use in MacBooks that are scheduled to go on sale in the second half of this year. Next-Generation Apple Silicon M2 MacBook Pro 16-inch The start of mass production came as Apple introduced new iMac and iPad Pro models using the M1. Producing such advanced chipsets takes at least three months. The new chipset is produced by key Apple supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s largest contract chipmaker, using the latest semiconductor production technology, known as 5-nanometer plus, or N5P. Nikkei Asia has reported that the next generation of Mac processors designed by Apple, entered mass production this month. Apple Silicon M2 Apple Silicone M2 enters mass production That means, new Macs with the next generation Apple Silicon are in an advanced development phase, among them is the mighty Mac Pro, which is expected to be half the size compared to its Intel-based predecessor. Apple’s M1 successor chip (M2/ M1X) goes into mass production.
