Moving forward, it's possible we'll see all new generation chips going into high-efficiency devices while "X" and "Z" variants are reserved for high-performance devices

It wasn't until the A13 was announced that we got a proper update to the cores themselves. The A12X simply improved on the A12 by adding more cores, and the A12Z that came next managed to squeeze a bit more performance out of the same architecture by adding one more GPU core. For example, the A12 processor was the 9th generation of Apple Silicon (the first generation was the A4), while the A12X was an expanded version of that same processor architecture with two more CPU and three more GPU cores.Īll A12 processors used the same underlying architecture, so barring any special performance tweaks, they all should provide the same single-core performance.
Generally speaking, Apple uses numbers to indicate processor generation, and the letter "X" to indicate eXpansion of that same generation. A note on Apple's chip naming conventionsīefore we dive in, it's worth briefly going over Apple's naming conventions for Apple Silicon, since this seems to be causing a lot of confusion online. We've put together a list of the five most exciting improvements that Apple is allegedly planning for the rumored MacBook Pros, including a little bit of context on what it all means and why we think photo and video editors should be very excited for the next evolution of Apple Silicon.

And if the rumored specs are to be believed, these laptops are poised to provide every bit of extra power that professional users have been asking for. The current M1 Macs churn through most photo and video editing tasks with ease, but they're limited to 16GB of RAM, can only support a few ports, and the M1 chip is designed to prioritize efficiency rather than performance.įortunately, it doesn't sound like we'll have to wait much longer to see what the M1 "unleashed" really looks like.Īccording to the latest rumors from reliable leakers and analysts like Ming Chi Kuo, Jon Prosser, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will be unveiling a 14- and a 16-inch MacBook Pro, both using the same "M1X" SOC, as soon as late September or middle of October. In order to get A to be able to reach C you would need to setup port forwarding and/or use uPnP.The first Apple Silicon-powered Macs have made a big impression, but it's safe to say that after more than a year, professional users are still waiting for something a bit more powerful. Similarly B and C are directly connected and can thus reach each other.Ĭ can reach A (and the internet) because of the outgoing NAT translation.Ī cannot reach C because of the unidirectionality of NAT. (it internally implements a DHCP server, allocates a new IP subnet for the wifi connection and does IP routing )Īmong other things this means that if you have a computer ‘A’ connected to the wired port of the mac ‘B’ (likely via switch or switch+router, since you presumably also want to connect your internet connection here) and another one ‘C’ connected via the wireless sharing feature of ‘B’, then:īecause A and B are directly connected so can reach each other. Internet Connection Sharing utilizes NAT and is thus a NAT-ed router and not a bridge. Normally when you say bridge you mean ‘level 2 network bridging’, which does not require a DHCP server, a separate IP subnet, IP routing, nor NAT. Mac Internet Connection Sharing is not a bridge in the normal meaning of the word. NOTE: this way you can connect to internet while you can maintain a secure distance from damaged buildings.
