For reference, the current M1 has
eight CPU cores, seven or eight GPU
cores, and a 16-core Neural Engine.
The M1 Pro and M1 Max double the
number of CPU and GPU cores, with
the Max’s GPU cores jumping to up to
32 cores. The Pro and Max also switch
up their CPU core allocation, reducing
the number of efficiency cores to two,
while the rest of the CPU cores are
performance cores. The Information’s
report doesn’t say how many cores
would be delegated for performance
in the next-generation chips.
