Intel expects 'Apple will move Mac to ARM processor in 2020'

Apple has been using Intel processors for Mac products for many years, but coverage from 2018 began to be reported as "shifting to an ARM-based processor after 2020". According to Axios of overseas media, the parties' Intel seems to expect "the transition will begin in 2020".

If Apple caught an Intel processor and moved to an ARM-based processor, "the transition may be a little tricky," Digital Trends overseas media points out. This is because when you move to an ARM-based processor, Apple will have to adjust both hardware and software to accommodate the new processor. Although there is a possibility that developers will be able to use wider applications of their own if the Mac becomes based on ARM, there is a possibility that compatibility problems may arise with old Intel processors "Digital Trends points out the problem.

However, at the same time if you move to an ARM-based processor, "Digital trends point out," Apple will no longer need to snugly follow Intel chipset sales schedule and eliminate the need to deal with processor shortages. In other words, Apple is likely to be able to release a new MacBook faster.

The report that Intel anticipates "Apple will shift Mac to ARM processor in 2020" came out after Apple was reported to be working on integrating iPhone, Mac, iPad applications Because it is information, Digital Trends says "Apple's iPhone and iPad are already running on a custom chipset based on the ARM architecture", Apple is trying to adopt ARM-based processors on Mac We anticipate that this application integration project will be realized.
