Apple prepares an external Pro Display screen with the A13 chip of the iPhone 11

Apple is currently working on a new Pro Display XDR display. Intended to replace the model launched in 2019, this new external screen would embed an A13 chip, the same chipset as the iPhone 11, and a Neural Engine, a neural engine dedicated to artificial intelligence.

In June 2019, Apple released the Pro Display XDR, an impressive 32-inch 6K retina display cut out for the Mac Pro. Dedicated to image professionals, the screen is offered at 5,499 euros on the Apple Store. Accessories and options, like nano-textured glass, quickly add up.

Two years later, Apple is logically working on a new version. According to the information obtained by our colleagues at 9to5Mac, the screen is currently under development under the code name J327. This high-end device is reportedly being tested internally at the Cupertino premises.

An external display with A13 Bionic SoC and a Neural Engine

This Pro Display XDR external screen would stand out thanks to the presence of an A13 Bionic chip. This is the powerful processor that powers the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The processor would be accompanied by a Neural Engine, a neural motor. This chip dedicated to artificial intelligence already allows iPhones to perform sophisticated tasks locally and consume less energy.

Operated on the external screen, the Neural Engine “Speeds up machine learning tasks”, explains 9to5Mac. Concretely, the ring road will be based on machine learning, a technology that allows algorithms to learn without having to be programmed beforehand. The algorithm thus evolves over the course of its experiments without the slightest action on the part of a programmer.

The strengths and functions of the future Pro Display screen are still unknown. Media believes that using the A13 SoC and a Neural Engine shows that Apple wants the screen to show high resolution images without pushing the components of the Mac / MacBook to its limits. The screen would be responsible for processing the image internally using algorithms.

Smart functions, linked to AirPlay or connected objects, are also mentioned by 9to5Mac. For now, we do not know more about the future screen of Apple. We await your opinion on the subject in the comments below.
