A usually well-informed analyst expects Apple to launch its new Mac, including its in-house ARM processor, in 2021.
• New Mac should come in early 2021
• Apple is working on its own ARM processor for Macs
• A new chip is to be installed in the processors
New Mac with ARM processor should come earlier than expected
The well-connected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from TF International Securities announced in a note at the end of February that he was expecting the new Mac, including a processor developed by Apple, for the first half of 2021. According to him, the laptop is to be equipped with an ARM processor from Apple, so far the Apple computers still run with processors from Intel. Apple would make its own processor independent of Intel, at the same time the iGroup could work on more economical energy consumption for its devices. Furthermore, app transfers to other Apple devices would be significantly easier, since Apple’s iPads and iPhones are already equipped with in-house ARM processors, only the Macs are missing.
Apple devices are said to be equipped with a new chip in the future
Furthermore, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, smartphone manufacturer is investing in “5-nanometer chips”. According to Kuo’s estimates, the “5-nanometer chips” are to be built into the processors of all future Apple products. Accordingly, the analyst assumes that the announced 5G iPhone and the new iPads for 2020 will already contain the chip. Kuo explains this in his note: “We expect Apple’s new products to take over 5 nm processors in 12-18 months, including the new 2H20 5G iPhone, the new 2H20 iPad, which is equipped with mini LEDs , and the new 1H21 Mac, which has its own processor. “
According to Kuo’s analysis, the outbreak of the corona virus will have no impact on the production of the new processor, Apple’s new core component. On the contrary. Kuo suspects that “Apple has increased investments related to ‘5nm’ after the outbreak of the epidemic.”
