Four of these cores will be energy efficient cores, codenamed Icestorm. The processor will be based on the 5nm processing technique and it will have eight high performance cores, codenamed Firestorm. Bloomberg's sources says that this processor will be faster than the iPhone and iPad processors. Many experts are suggesting that Apple will move to the ARM processor architecture, indeed a report from Bloomberg (which was published minutes after we published this report, so we have updated accordingly) has suggested that Apple will start selling Macs with its own ARM-based processors in 2021.Īccording to Bloomberg's sources Apple is working on a Mac-destined processor based on the A14 processor (that will appear in the next iPhone). This time the move will be away from Intel to. This situation could now lead to Apple initiating another CPU transformation for its Mac. It's no doubt been frustrating to Apple to have to wait while Intel solves the challenges it has faced. Intel's advancements have slowed down and as a result we have sometimes seen more than a year before a year between generations of Macs. With a resulting chaos of codenames that has confused even the most astute. Intel’s move to 10-nanometer chips has been fraught with difficulties and delays. The CPU industry has now reached a similar hurdle. The result: Apple switched to Intel CPUs in 2006 and PowerPC was history.
IBM was to blame: the 3GHz hurdle was simply too high and physically not feasible, at least not with the PowerPC architecture. At the end of his presentation he promised that the G5 would achieve 3GHz clock frequency within 12 months. In 2003 Steve Jobs introduced the Power Mac G5 on stage at WWDC.
In the early days the PowerPC products performed well, with benchmark scores that matched the competition, but by 2003 things were already starting to lag. The PowerPC processor was the result of an alliance between Apple, IBM and Motorola (sometimes referred to as AIM). Back in 2005 Apple announced that it would be turning its back on the PowerPC in favour of Intel. This isn’t the first time Apple has moved away from a processor manufacturer. We have everything you need to know about Apple Silicon here. This switch to ARM will then be the defining Mac theme throughout 20. This doesn't mean we will see the first Mac with an Apple-designed processor at WWDC, but we may well hear about it. It’s thought that Apple will reveal plans to move away from Intel's core chips and towards its own CPUs based on ARM - having been convinced of their performance benefits in the iPhone and iPad. The rumour is that Apple will announced the next change of processor platform at WWDC in June (the first time Apple’s developer event will take place online). According to reports, Apple is intent on changing the CPU architecture for the Mac product line with a move away from Intel planned. The year 2020 could go down in Apple history.
