MacBook Air (2022): Mini LED display?

But a new report from 9to5Mac Citing sources familiar with the issue suggests that Apple may end up using the M2 chip... According to the report, the M2 chip with codename J413 will have an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. The 2020 M1 MacBook Air, on the other hand, has an 8-core CPU and a 7 / 8-core GPU option. As a result, you can expect improvements in the graphics capabilities of the new MacBook Air.
