The first Apple Silicon chips destined for Macs are expected to be based on the A14 Bionic used in the 4th generation iPad Air and the upcoming iPhone 12 family.
While talking about the upcoming iPhone 12 launch, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman threw in just a single sentence that sets into motion what Apple has planned: «The first Mac laptop with Apple’s own processor, among other products, will emerge at another launch in November.» MacBooks powered by Apple Silicon are highly anticipated, as Apple has been touting that the chips will offer the best of both worlds compared to its legacy Intel-powered machines. They will allegedly offer superior performance while also delivering unmatched power efficiency thanks to its use of the 5nm process node.
