Did I understand correctly that MacBook Pro and Air will share the same M1 CPU? Previous models had a massive delta in CPU performance based on using low power

Did I understand correctly that MacBook Pro and Air will share the same M1 CPU?
Previous models had a massive delta in CPU performance based on using low power (Air, no fan) or medium power (Pro, with dual fans) Intel chips
- mcintyre1994 6y agoI think there's still a no fan vs fan distinction so they'll still be able to run the Pro more powerful, but it looks like it. I half suspect the Air was the one they wanted to release and they just didn't want there to be no Pro faster than an Air in the lineup.
- paxys 6y agoSame CPU line, but doesn't mean they will have the same specs. Pro will definitely have its cores run faster/hotter.
- ziftface 6y agoIs there any indication at this point that they'll make that clear? It seems kind of strange to buy a computer without really knowing what you're buying. I guess apple didn't officially say what intel processors they have in their computers, but at least you could look it up and know what you're getting.
- paxys 6y agoThey have also never shared this info for iPhones/iPads, so no reason to believe they will do it for Macs going forward. But we should be seeing third party benchmarks soon enough.
- cmoscoe 6y agoYes, but they only replaced the lowest-end 13 inch pro at this point, and are still selling the higher-end Intels. The performance versions will follow next year.
