Ming-Chi Kuo: We will see a MacBook with an ARM processor next year

It has been rumored for a long time that Apple could start producing Macs with its own processors. But this week, well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated in his report to investors that we could expect computers from Apple with ARM processors already in the first half of next year. According to this report, the company is already working on a computer model with its own processor, but no further details are given in the report.

In a way, Ming-Chi Kuo's report confirms earlier speculation that Apple is already working on a computer with its own processor. Thanks to the production of its own processors, the Cupertino giant would no longer have to rely on the production cycle of Intel, which currently supplies it with processors. According to some speculations, Apple had planned to release computers with its own processors this year, but this option is practically unrealistic according to Kuo.

The move to its own ARM processors is part of Apple's efforts to make Macs, iPhones and iPads work better and more closely together, as well as a step towards easier porting of applications across these platforms. iPhones and iPads already use the relevant technology, and the iMac Pro and the new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini and Mac Pro contain T2 chips from Apple.

Ming-Chi Kuo further states in his report that Apple will switch to 5nm chips in the next twelve to eighteen months, which will become the core technology for its new products. According to Kuo, Apple should use these chips in this year's iPhones with 5G connectivity, the iPad with mini LED and the aforementioned Mac with its own processor, which should be introduced next year.

According to Kuo, support for 5G networks and new processor technologies should become the focus of Apple's strategy this year. According to Kuo, the company has increased its investment in 5nm production and is trying to secure more resources for its technologies. The company is also said to be more intensively involved in research, development and production of new technologies.
