RUMOR: Apple to Release Mac with Its Own Custom Processor
Apple Inc. is planning to start selling Mac computers with its own main processors by next year, relying on designs that helped popularize the iPhone and iPad, according to people familiar with the matter.The Cupertino, California-based technology giant is working on three of its own Mac processors, known as systems-on-a-chip, based on the A14 processor in the next iPhone. The first of these will be much faster than the processors in the iPhone and iPad, the people said.
Apple is preparing to release at least one Mac with its own chip next year, according to the people. But the initiative to develop multiple chips, codenamed Kalamata, suggests the company will transition more of its Mac lineup away from current supplier Intel Corp.
Ignoring the awkward way that Bloomberg writes about these sort of things (“According to the people"), this is really awesome news.
I remember how big a deal it was when Apple was moving to Intel-based Macs, and now they’re going to own the entire device with their own hardware. The line between Apple devices continues to blur.
