One of the most anticipated events in the tech industry this year is the arrival of the ARM-based MacBook Pro. With the new processor, the premium laptop from the Cupertino-based tech company is also expected to ship interesting new features. If the latest leak is to go by, it looks like the upcoming ARM-based MacBook Pro would also come with a second-generation Touch Bar.
Latest ARM-based MacBook Pro Rumor

Sadly, the insider did not go into details about the second-generation Touch Bar on the upcoming ARM-based MacBook Pro. Wccftech speculated that Apple might increase the Touch Bar's width to provide more screen options to users. Apple already introduced the Face ID to the iPhone X and to the 2018 iPad Pro, and its just a matter of time for the feature to find its way to the upcoming ARM-based MacBook Pro. A14X Bionic Chip Youtuber Luke Miami recently shared a new set of exciting data revealing the A14X Bionic chip's performance. The YouTuber provided the performance of the next-generation chipset through a tweet. The A14X Bionic chip's past performance metrics show that it could be almost par with the Intel Core i9-9880H CPU's performance.

This particular eight-core processor from Intel is present in the most powerful notebook computers, including the 16-inch MacBook Pro. However, with great power, this CPU requires a substantial cooling level to keep the machine in check. The leaked performance data also reveals that the A14 Bionic rumored to be on the iPhone 12 series would be only a 'hairline slower' than the A12X Bionic.
