Apple’s upcoming 15-inch MacBook Air model will be able to be configured with two variants of the M2 chip, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
in a cheep Shared today, Kuo said he expects the new MacBook Air to be available with two M2 chip options that have different numbers of cores than the existing 13-inch model. The news comes as a revision to Kuo’s earlier forecast, which predicted that the 15-inch MacBook Pro could be configured with either the M2 or M2 Pro chip.
The 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip that Apple released last year is available in 8-core and 10-core GPU variants, and the 2020 M1 model was available in 7-core and 8-core GPU options. So the 15-inch MacBook Air is likely to mirror the 13-inch model in terms of chip specs.
Kuo also stated that the new model will be explicitly 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 by 2023. Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman recently reported that the 15-inch MacBook Air will be announced at WWDC in June.
