Apple plans to switch the entire Mac division to Apple Silicon processors over the next two years. The company confirmed this at WWDC 2020. Now there is a report that mentions a brand new iMac and A15 chip.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Apple Silicon iMac is expected to hit the market in the first half of next year and will be equipped with a desktop-class \u201cA14T\u201d chip. This is reported by the Chinese-language platform<\/a> The China Times. The code name of the first custom-made desktop processor is said to be "Mt. Jade". It will also have a self-developed graphics processor with the code name "Lifuka". Both are to be manufactured based on TSMC's 5-nanometer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the first Apple Silicon processor A14X for the MacBook, which is already in mass production using TSMC's 5-nanometer technology, Apple will launch its first self-developed graphics processor under the research and development code name Lifuka and its first desktop processor A14T under the research and development code name Mt.Jade next year, both of which will be manufactured using TSMC's 5-nanometer process.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Today's report is based on the development timeline of the new A14 processors that recently debuted in the iPhone 12 series and the fourth generation of the iPad Air. The report reiterates previous rumors and confirms earlier statements. Some time ago it was already claimed that the first Apple Silicon Mac will receive the so-called A14X chip, which is codenamed "Tonga".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple is already working on the A15 chip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

According to the China Times, the processor will be placed in a 12-inch MacBook that is currently in mass production. The device is said to have a super-lightweight design. According to an earlier Bloomberg report, the company already has three different Mac processors based on the A14 chip. These statements are therefore consistent. Finally, the China Times stated that the company is already working on the A15 chip. The A15 will be found in next year's "iPhone 13" and, like the A14 series, modified versions called A15X and A15T will form the basis of the second generation of Apple Silicon MacBooks and iMacs, with chip production starting in the third quarter of 2021.
