CALIFORNIA – US tech giant Apple is reportedly replacing Qualcomm and Intel chipsets to manufacture its own Mac line-up.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is working on three new Macs which will be released this year. The latest addition to Apple family will reportedly arrive in the form of two laptops and one desktop, each sporting Apple’s own new co-processors.
The company is already making its own chips based on ARM reference designs in the form of the A11 Bionic and earlier variants for phones and tablets, plus the W1 and W2 in its EarPods and Apple Watch.
Now, Apple is apparently taking back more control so it doesn’t have to rely on companies like Qualcomm and Intel.
Apple makes its own chips for Macs could mean faster processing, more power efficiency and a lower price for the customers. All the possible Macs that could get the upgrade, based on the current lines are: MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Pro, and the Mac mini.
