Jade 2/4c are additional processors being developed by Apple for their <strike>Macbook Air line of notebooks</strike> Mac Pro line for anyone who is like me and didn't know.
Edit: first thing I read was wrong, turns out that these are Mac Pro level processors, see below comments for more details. Thanks everyone for the clarification.
- InTheArena 5y agoNo, the 2c/4c are the MacPro / iMacPro CPUs. Think big-boy versions of the Max / Pro (which are insane already). Jade C "Chop" is the Pro, Jade C Die is the Max. jade 2c is two Maxes. Jade 4c is 4 maxes. https://twitter.com/siracusa/status/1395706013286809600?lang=en https://twitter.com/siracusa/status/1395706013286809600?lang...
- kube-system 5y agoThat Jade 4c might be pretty sweet in an Xserve.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoAll this die chopping really sounds like the consequence of the Intel architects Apple hired away. Over the years lots of Intel products segmented SKUs by laying them out in a way that facilitated simple chops post wafersort.
- kergonath 5y agoThat is...properly exciting. Really looking forward to whatever prosumer desktop Apple will come up with. I'm even ok with an iMac at this point.
- neogodless 5y agoMy understanding is that they are rumored, code names. But they are expected be even higher scaled iterations of Apple Silicon. In other words, while M1 had up to 4 performance (P) cores, 4 efficiency (E) cores and 8 GPU (G) cores, the M1 Pro and Max scaled up to as high as 8P, 2E and 32G. The Jade 2/4c designation is rumored to go even higher on P and G cores, which means it's much more likely to end up in a Mac Pro than the Macbook Air.
