8 core gpu option for the air?

I’ve seen it discussed here and on other videos as well but when I go to build the MacBook Air with the 512gb storage, it still states it’s only got the 7 core gpu?

How do I confirm I would be getting that gpu upgrade when I bump the storage?

On the US site, when you click buy, it’s the device on the right, listed in the title.

It is the second option in the website. Its listed there. I have the MBA with 8GB RAM/8-core GPU.

Here is the direct link.

Oh I see it lol. I choose the cheap one and then just added on the 512 and it didn’t change but didn’t see the second option

thanks guys.

The low end version has 7 cores, the high end version has 8 cores.

Clearly Apple is using binning to handle chip yield.

Yea for sure, which is why I want the higher binned chip lol. I was floating between iPad Pro and MacBook but I already have a 6th gen ipad I use for Netflix mostly. But I am excited to get into some more video and photo editing beyond my phone.

Hopefully these m1’s are future proof. I imagine they are, apple manages to make their intel books last years
