- A source apparently revealed the chip identifier of the next MacBook Air
- This identifier corresponds to the Apple M4 chip
- The M4 MacBook Air should be launched in a few weeks
All signs point to the imminent launch of a new MacBook Air M4 with Apple’s latest M4 chip, and a new index has just been released that cements more about this idea.
According to MacRumors, a mysterious private account on X (formerly Twitter) has recently shared model identifiers for the next MacBook Air. These are the codes that Apple uses to classify its devices and components. In this case, the source said that the upcoming models of the 13 -inch MacBook Air and his 15 -inch brother are equipped with the T8132 chip, which, according to Macrumors, corresponds to the M4.
MacRumors did not share the source, so we are unable to check independently what they said. However, there has been a constant flow of MacBook Air leaks in recent weeks, many sources saying that the laptop will be launching soon.
Apple often publishes new products in March or April, which could be when we see the M4 MacBook Air.
A modest update?
Before you excite you too much, this MacBook Air refreshment should not be particularly revolutionary. He will obtain the M4 chip for sure, but there is nothing precious other expected. Based on what we have seen in the MacBook Pro, the M4 chip will probably provide modest performance improvements rather than something really revealing.
Apple will almost certainly stick to the same design as the M3 MacBook Air, with its flat edges and its slim chassis. We would not touch on many features of the MacBook Pro to switch to the MacBook Air either, excluding new features such as the dynamic promotion cooling rate and the nano-texture glass option which reduces dazzling and reflections .
However, there could be an increase in the memory bandwidth, which could allow you to connect two external screens without the need to close the laptop cover. We will not be surprised either to see a more effective neural engine to improve the workloads of artificial intelligence.
If you plan to buy a new MacBook Air, it is worth remembering a little longer until the M4 model is born. Based on the latest news, it seems that it could potentially happen in the coming weeks.
