Last year, tech giant Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) announced a new series of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops with the company’s indigenous M1 chipsets. This was Apple’s effort to reduce its dependency on Intel for its powerful machines. Now, the tech is also preparing for another series of Apple laptops and desktops with faster processors.

Codenamed Jade 2C-Die and Jade 4C-Die, a redesigned Mac Pro is planned to come in 20 or 40 computing core variations, made up of 16 high-performance or 32 high-performance cores and four or eight high-efficiency cores. The chips would also include either 64 core or 128 core options for graphics. The computing core counts top the 28 core maximum offered by today’s Intel Mac Pro chips, while the higher-end graphics chips would replace parts now made by Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
