Apple's M3 processor generation is continuing to take shape thanks to what seem to be unreleased internal test devices that are showing up in the analytics data of third-party app developers. Back in May , Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported on the specs of what appeared to be a new M3 Pro processor. Yesterday, Gurman revealed the specs of a new M3 Max , which has a total of 16 CPU cores and 40 GPU cores, plus 48GB of memory (likely not the maximum that will be available since the current MacBook Pros can go up to 96GB).
The current M2 Max, found in the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the Mac Studio, tops out at 12 CPU cores and 38 GPU cores. Gurman says that all four of the M3 Max's extra CPU cores should be large, high-performance cores rather than smaller efficiency cores; both kinds of cores boost speeds, but performance cores are obviously more useful for high-end workloads.
Earlier this week, Gurman also noticed a new base-model M3 chip that continued to use 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores, just like the current M2. This chip would still be a speed upgrade from the M2, but it would have to rely on architectural improvements and clock speed boosts rather than extra cores. The original M1 used eight CPU cores as well, also split evenly between high-performance and high-efficiency cores.

After the Apple M1 chip’s success, we’re now expecting the next-generation Apple M2 or M1X powered MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. We’re surely getting an upgrade in 2021, and there are some sweet features rumored to be exclusive to the Apple M2 MacBook Pro.
TF International Securities analyst and credible Apple leakster Ming-Chi Kuo told about the new design and features of the M2 MacBook Pro. If Kuo’s note is to be believed, the M2 MacBook Pro or the M1X MacBook Pro will add a lot more muscle to the Pro model than the Air. Here’s everything you need to know about the M2 MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro Release Date
The M2/M1X MacBook Pro release date will be around the third quarter of 2021. We don’t know the exact date of the launch, but we can expect major design and feature changes. The upcoming Apple silicon-backed MacBook Pro is due for additional ports and possibly the return of MagSafe on MacBook.
M2 MacBook Pro Design
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the Pro will come with a “flat-edged” design. This will be in tune with the company’s other products. Apple has already squared off the edges on the iPhone 12 lineup and the new iPad lineup. So it’s no surprise that the next-gen MacBook Pro design will not be as curved as the current one.
The new Pro models are expected to come in 14-inch and 16-inch screen sizes with a Mini LED display. It is certainly an upgrade over the current panel, and it means sharper, brighter images on the new Mac. You may notice design changes on the sides too, where Apple is expected to add more ports. Yes, Apple is likely to reverse its USB Type-C-only design. This means we may get more ports on the M2 MacBook Pro.

Now that the release date and design are out of the way, let’s talk about the 2021 MacBook Pro features. According to Kuo’s note, the new MacBook Pro will sport an HDMI port, an SD card slot, and MagSafe charging. Apple killed off the SD card slot after the 2015 MacBook Pro model. Then the HDMI and MagSafe were gone too.
Apple might actually add back HDMI and SD card support to the newer Pro models. It is so because the Pro has to offer more to justify its price over the Air now. The current M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models are almost at par, making it difficult to justify the Pro as the ‘Pro’ choice.
With the addition of an HDMI port and an SD card slot, Apple may try to utilize the thicker design of the Pro model to deliver extra functions. As for the MacBook Air, we expect it to count on the adapters to get additional ports.

Kuo says that Genesys Logic will be making the SD card readers, and they’ll be USB 4.0 compatible. Both the HDMI as well as SD card reader are popular features among photographers and video editors. So we can say that Apple is tapping deeper into a territory that already prefers the MacBook Pro over other machines.
MagSafe: The Prodigal Son Returns!
Lastly, MagSafe on the M2 MacBook Pro will probably be a good decision. I’ve been using a MagSafe MacBook Air, and I’ve also used a MacBook with Type-C charging. The MagSafe model lets you confidently charge your MacBook on a table in a cafe. If someone accidentally topples on the cable, it just disconnects easily, saving your laptop.
With the Type-C port, it is likely that you’ll wreck your MacBook if someone yanks the cable. However, it remains to be seen if Apple offers a 90 watt MagSafe charger just like the Type-C one that comes with the current MacBook Pro.
Rest assured, if these upgrades make it to the next-gen MacBook Pro, it’ll better justify the price for not just the premium, but the added functionality and design.
