Title: Kuo: 15-Inch MacBook Air to Offer Two M2 Chip Options, No M2 Pro Configuration Post by: HCK on April 22, 2023, 04:05:05 pm Kuo: 15-Inch MacBook Air to Offer Two M2 Chip Options, No M2 Pro Configuration
Apple's upcoming 15-inch MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/) model will be configurable with two variants of the M2 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m2/) chip, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/). (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2022/06/M2-MacBook-Air-2022-Feature0010.jpg) In a tweet (https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1649057860998029314) shared earlier today, Kuo said that he expects the new ‌MacBook Air‌ to be available with two ‌M2‌ chip options that have different numbers of cores like the existing 13-inch model. The news comes as a revision of Kuo's previous forecast (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/15/kuo-15-inch-m2-macbook-2023-rumor/), which predicted that the 15-inch MacBook Pro could be configurable with either the ‌M2‌ or ‌M2‌ Pro chip. The 13-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ with the ‌M2‌ chip that Apple launched last year is available in 8- and 10-core GPU variants, and the M1 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m1/) model from 2020 was available in 7- and 8-core GPU options. The 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ is therefore likely to mirror the 13-inch model in terms of chip specifications. Kuo also affirmed that the new model will explicitly be branded as a 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌, rather than a new product line. He expects the device to reach five to six million unit shipments in 2023. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/) recently reported that the 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ will be announced at WWDC (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/16/new-macbooks-at-wwdc-gurman/) in June.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/)</div><div class="linkback">Tags: Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/), 15-Inch MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/15-inch-macbook-air/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: MacBook Air (Neutral) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Air)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: MacBook Air (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macbook-air.122)</div> This article, "Kuo: 15-Inch MacBook Air to Offer Two M2 Chip Options, No M2 Pro Configuration (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/20/kuo-15-inch-macbook-air-two-m2-chip-options/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/kuo-15-inch-macbook-air-to-offer-two-m2-chip-options-no-m2-pro-configuration.2387331/) in our forums Source: Kuo: 15-Inch MacBook Air to Offer Two M2 Chip Options, No M2 Pro Configuration (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/20/kuo-15-inch-macbook-air-two-m2-chip-options/) |
