Apple might have exclusive on Intel's 28W 'Ice Lake' processors
- api 6y agoThe 2020 Air has a version of these too. My guess is Intel is bending over backward to keep Apple.
- skavi 6y agoIt appears you’re misinterpreting the headline. Apple has an exclusive on the 28W SKUs of Ice Lake chips, not on Ice Lake chips as a whole. 4 port 13” MBPs use these. Many other OEMs use the 15W SKUs.
- rowanG077 6y agoThat's really unfortunate since it's the only chip with a somewhat reasonable clock speed. Looking at all U processors[1] that one was basically the only one I would consider using.

- skavi 6y agoNo one other than Apple and Intel themselves has used 28W chips anytime recently. I doubt there would more 28W machines even if they weren’t formally exclusive.
