32-Core Apple Silicon Macs in 2021?

Bloomberg is reporting rumors of Macs with up to 32 Cores already in 2021

Mac Pro, will this be the kind of Mac that gets 32 Firestorm Cores?

We are just recuperating from the shock of the M1 Macs which have been released. Now, respectable Bloomberg Technology are reporting on rumors that we will potentially see new Macs already in 2021 which are significantly more powerful than the M1 based Macs we have seen thus far.

In case you have forgotten, the M1 based Macs are already outperforming all their existing high end Intel laptops, and that is with only 4 high performance cores. The other 4 are low performance.

Overview of the CPU and GPU cores in the M1 system on a chip.

A core is basically a separate little microprocessor, which can run any code independent of other cores. Thus as long the programs and the operating system is able to utilize extra cores to the full, doubling the number of cores often means getting close to twice the performance. It will always be somewhat lower as you increase contention for shared resources.

So what we are talking about here is Macs potentially released within just one year (end of 2021) are going to have 8 times as many cores the current M1, which is already a speed monster.
