The transition to Macs with ARM processors will begin on November 10 with the first MacBook to include a proprietary processor. Although, it will not be a quick process since there are many teams that must be updated with the passage of time. The Mac Pro is one of them and the way to change its size is already being explored since it is not too small right now.
The Mac Pro will have a new minor replacement
From Bloomberg they have reported that the Cupertino company is already exploring the possibility of launching a new Mac Pro with several cosmetic changes. Obviously the main novelty that it will include will be the new processor with ARM architecture, but changes are also expected in the design. One of the peculiarities of the current model is undoubtedly its ostentatious size. The fact that it is a computer that is designed to be updated in order to change components such as storage or RAM requires a lot of space. Although, from Apple they are studying to release a new model with a reduced size, specifically at half of what is currently known.
The design would remain as before with its peculiar ‘cheese grater’ on the front that serves as a ventilation. As we say, one of the advantages that the entire Mac range will have with the new processors is undoubtedly in size due to the fact that they are more energy efficient. But in the Mac Pro this does not apply anymore as we have mentioned its size adjusts to the expandability that the equipment offers to the professional public.
What is still unknown by these leakers is whether two Mac Pro will coexist in the market. Apple’s plans are to launch this new professional team in 2021 or 2022, this being possibly the team that completes the transition that is estimated to be two years. It would not make much sense in the end that both Macs were sold together since obviously the vast majority of users will go for the one with the new ARM processor. What will mark this decision without a doubt are the benefits that the new Mac Pro will have since if it eliminates the possibility of being updated in the same way as its predecessor, this is where professionals will finally have to decide.
What is clear is that next November 10 we will attend a true ‘One more thing’ as was so much expected. The independence of Apple and Intel will mark a before and after with numerous advantages for Mac users. The fact that Apple has power over the development of its processors will allow them to be updated in a much more frequent way without depending on the fixed schedule. by Intel. In short, anyone wants to always have the best possible processor in their possession and this will now be possible. In addition, a better integration of software and hardware is also guaranteed to increase performance, something similar to what you have in the iPhone or iPad.
