WWDC 2020 marked the new future that Macs will have and more specifically their processors. From Apple they already have the necessary plans to be able to integrate their own processors to be able to replace those of Intel. In this article we tell you the latest information that is known as a result of Macs with Apple Silicon.
Possible Mac Apple Silicon announcement date
When Apple announced its plans to integrate its own processors into Macs, they did not give a specific date for its presentation. They only limited themselves to informing that they would be announced at the end of the years, leaving the month fully open. Now Mark Gurman through a note in Bloomberg has been able to give an approximate date of when this presentation will occur. Specifically, the brief phrase where this reference is made says that November will be the month of presentation of the new Macs that will include Apple Silicon processors.
Importantly, Mark Gurman details that it will be announced. This is very different from the fact that they are launched on the market leaving an open question in this regard. That is why in a hypothetical event in November, all the details of this new processor will be given and, in addition, there will be first-hand information about which computers will be the first to receive this new processor. At the moment it is known that the production of Apple Silicon processors would begin to be able to reach the fourth quarter of the year. The first team that would include this processor would be a 12 ″ MacBook with an autonomy that could exceed 15 hours thanks to its efficiency.
If this calendar ends up being fulfilled, possibly in December or early 2021 we will see this new team on the market. Everything can also depend on the speed of the developers to be able to adapt all the essential applications to this new processor that is something totally new. At the moment they have a 2020 Mac mini with this new configuration so they can work with the best tools.
The transition to Apple Silicon will be slow
Even if a new Mac is introduced this November, it will not mean that the transition is complete. We are facing a process that will be quite slow so Intel will still be very present in Macs in the coming years. We must take into account the complexity that this transition process can have that cannot be done in a few months from the first announcement a few months ago. In the end, what you are trying to achieve is to have more control over the processors.
Currently Apple depends on the Intel calendar to be able to bring out new equipment and this can be a problem for users who do not have the best hardware. Now it will change completely since Apple will have absolute control over the processors, the soul of any computer, which will be integrated in a more efficient way with the rest of the hardware and software. As a result, in addition to getting the best hardware upgrades, you will also have a more efficient computer with a longer battery life.
