It has only been a few weeks since Apple's new M1-chip  powered MacBook Air and MacBook Pro hit the shelves. The new M1 is said to be very powerful and it looks like Apple has a serious winner in its hands. But it looks like the company wants to do more and a successor to M1 is coming as early as next year.

According to a new report, the new M2 chipset is said to be manufactured using the same 5nm process and it's expected to power the next set of MacBook Pro 13-inch and 16-inch variants. If this turns out to be true, then it looks like we're in for a treat.

The new M2 processor is expected to deliver better performance than the already powerful M1 chip. We can expect to see some improvements in terms of battery life and performance. We don't know much about this new processor yet, so it's best to steer clear of any kind of speculation and just wait to see Apple delivers.

The current M1 chip, in case you don't know, is Apple's first ARM-based chipset. You can buy an M1-powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or a Mac Mini right now for a starting price that's as low as Rs 67,990. The M1 chip, with all its bells and whistles, is touted to perform 3.5x times faster than the previous generation processors with up to 5x better graphics performance.
