Apple M1X could be the name of the successor to the recently announced M1 processors and is likely to make its debut in 2021 with the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Apple announced its octa-core M1 SoC earlier this month and unveiled three products. Apple’s homegrown M1 silicon powers the latest 13-inch MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and the Mac Mini.
Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch with TouchBar and Touch ID Display 16.0-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 3072x1920 native resolution at 226 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors. The current 16-inch MacBook Pro was the lone MacBook line not to receive an M1 upgrade. It features a ninth-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5300M graphics and a 512GB SSD.
According to multiple tweets by LeaksApplePro, the M1X could be the name of the successor to the M1 chip. It further cites a source who used a prototype and said, “if you think M1 is fast, you haven’t seen M1X”. The M1X is expected to be a 12-core processor with eight performance cores and four power-efficiency cores driving all the power. The current Apple M1 chip has an octa-core CPU with four performance cores and four power-efficiency cores.
Apple M1X:
-12 Cores.
- 8 performance cores.
- 4 high efficiency cores.
- Coming first on a MacBook Pro

Moreover, some recent reports indicate that benchmark numbers from the MacBook Air powered by Apple’s M1 silicon seem to outperform the top-of-the-line 16-inch MacBook Pro. On GeekBench 5, single and multi-core scores for the M1 powered MacBook Air are 1687 and 7433 respectively. On the other hand, Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro powered by the Intel Core i9-9989HK (8-core chip) and 64GB RAM scores 1097 and 7014 respectively.
While the name of the successor to the M1 isn’t confirmed, the 16-inch MacBook Pro seems a likely candidate to get an upgraded processor that takes the company’s transition to its own chips forward. Apple’s M1 silicon is fabricated using a 5-nanometer process and consists of an octa-core CPU, an eight-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. The previous generation Mac devices used multiple chips for the CPU, GPU, I/O, memory, Thunderbolt and security, however, with the M1 combines it all on a single SoC making the new devices highly efficient and powerful.
