I feel like I've missed something. Why are there all these rumours of Apple moving away from Intel anyway? Do they have some sort of issue with Intel?
Otherwise I can't see the benefit in lower power CPUs for macs. If they really cared so much about reducing power usage and heat, then they wouldn't have shoehorned an i9 into their laptops
- ubermonkey 6y agoBecause Apple, first and foremost, wants to be able to control its own destiny. Being tied to Intel has slowed them down on upgrading their higher-end laptops for years. OTOH, they're having GREAT success with their ARM chips in mobile. So, you know, you do the math.
- snazz 6y agoBecause their iPhone chips are so obscenely powerful, MBPs are famous for running super hot, and they can make much better margins this way. Consolidating onto a single CPU and GPU platform is nice for developers as well. We’ll have to wait until 10PDT today and see the points that are brought up in the keynote.
