Welcome to the Tech Meme Right Home for Thursday, March 10th, 2022. I'm Brian McCullough today.

Apple hasn't forgotten about the Mac Mini. Amazon's first stock split since the

dot-com era.

Tender leans into background checks as a service, hands on with the new Magic Leap

to AR glasses, and forget about delivery by drone.

Now imagine getting packages delivered to you from space,

the wildest startup I've heard about in a while. Here's what you missed today in the world of

Tech. What was it that I said about Apple rumors never really sleeping? The same week as the big

Mac studio and M1 Ultra reveal. Sources are telling 9-5 Mac that Apple isn't forgetting about the mini and is in fact working on a Mac mini with an M2 8 core CPU and 10 core

GPU as well as a Mac mini with an M2 Pro 12 core CPU. M2 chip designs are apparently being based on the A15.

More from 9 to 5 Mac. Code-named J-473, the new Mac Mini will be powered by the M2 chip, which is Apple's next generation

entry-level chip for Macs and iPads.

M2 will represent the first major upgrade to Apple's M family of chips

since the introduction of the M1 in 2020.

Internally known as Staten,

M2 is based on the current A15 chip

while M1 is based on the A14 Bionic.

Just like M1, M2 will feature an 8 core CPU for performance cores and for efficiency cores.

But this time, with a more powerful 10-core GPU. The new

performance cores are code-named Avalanche and Efficiency cores are known as

Blizzard. According to 9-5 max sources, Apple had plans to introduce high-end versions of the current Mac mini with the

M1 pro and M1 max chips, but they were probably scrapped to make way for the Mac studio.
