Apple M1X Chip? Apple's very own silicon design team has just recently launched its supposed "fastest" CPU core to ever be found in the company's units. The M1 processor was designed specifically for both laptops and mini-PCs and is now Apple's pride and joy as it steps away from Intel.

The new Apple M1X processor is said to be designed for powerful high-end laptops and also the most demanding workloads. The brand new processor aims to create a much higher performance level compared to what its users have currently been used to.

The Apple M1X is said to feature a massive 12-core CPU that will be equipped with four smaller cores. The M1X chip is said to deliver a much better performance in comparison to the current Apple M1 processor.

Both the graphics as well as the memory configuration are now unknown and fans will still have to wait in order for them to see what this looks like. The M1X, according to the leak, is said to arrive some time during the 1st quarter of next year.

Apple M1 processors

The Apple M1 processor is said to be an eight-core processor wherein four of the cores are all represented by certain low power small configurations as well as four big, high-performance design cores. The Apple M1 processor has been able to prove itself to be extremely fast.

However, the Apple Silicon processor still does not seem to be able to cover anything that is higher than the known 13-inch MacBook Pro. The whole schematics when it comes to Apple's computers is said to all change with the new Apple M1 processors.

Apple M1 chip: better than before?

When it comes to more high-end models just like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, which actually provides even more cooling area, it is still pretty logical that the known processor for the said designs will be a much higher performance design.

What about the Apple M1X processor? Despite the recent release of the Apple M1 processor, there was actually a leak presented to Tech Power Up with regards to a possible upcoming Apple M1X chip, which would also be a logical next processor for Apple's M1 series. This leak, although unconfirmed and with very little detail, talks about a more powerful processor to top the known Apple M1.

Will the Apple M1X Chip be Apple's way into the gaming industry?

The source has not yet revealed much details with regards to the confirmation of the upcoming M1X processor. Another article by Digit notes the possibility of an upcoming M1X chip. This is still to be seen by fans of Apple and fans of high-performance units. Although the details regarding the upcoming chip are still scarce, fans will have to wait for confirmation as to whether the details given by the leak were correct.

Should Apple be able to roll out better chips, this might change the whole notion and allow Apple to finally compete in the gaming side of computers which is an industry that has been growing strong over the years as well. Apple might even be seen trying to penetrate the gaming market later on.
