Bloomberg, which has more accurate information about Apple, sent a report yesterday (June 9). According to the news from insiders, Apple may announce to developers on WWDC this month that it will replace Intel processors with self-developed chips on Mac products.
According to the report, the new chip will be equipped with the Mac product released in 2021, which is based on the same technology as the iPhone and iPad chips. Compared with Intel products, it has a great improvement in graphics performance and AI performance, and also has higher energy efficiency performance.
In fact, there have been rumors that Apple will carry self-developed ARM instruction set chips on Macs in the future. For example, Guo Mingxuan predicted in March this year that Apple would launch MacBooks with self-developed chips in the fourth quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2021.
In the past two years, the performance of Apple's self-developed A-series chips has been fully demonstrated, especially on the iPad Pro. It has already had some strength to impact the traditional X86 PC processor, while the growth of Intel's processor performance continues to slow down. It is also predictable that Apple will switch to self-developed chips on the Mac.
If the news is finally confirmed, it will also be the third shift in the selection of processing chips for Mac since the transition from Motorola processors to PowerPC in the early 1990s and from PowerPC to Intel in 2005.
