According to renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the Apple Silicon project should produce a first Mac with an Apple processor at the end of this year. It would be a portable Mac model with a 13.3-inch screen size, certainly a MacBook Air.
This machine should appear at the earliest inOctober 2020and no later than March 2021. It could cost less than the current MacBook Air with Intel CPU.
Other MacBooks with in-house CPUs could arrive at the same time according to Kuo.Two 14.1-inch and 16-inch MacBook Prosare notably expected for the last quarter of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021. They would not only include an ARM processor, but would also present a new design.
Finally, while in a previous report, Kuo saw a desktop Mac with an Apple Silicon chip appearing this year, the man has changed his mind. He maintains that we must wait at leastuntil the yearnext before seeing an iMac, a Mac mini or even a Mac Pro break away from the Intel architecture.
