#ARM processors

Apple is reported to use dedicated ARM processors for the next-generation Mac computers. According to the report from Bloomberg, the American tech company is preparing to announce the switch of the next Mac lineup from Intel to ARM-based chipsets this upcoming WWDC 2020. The report also stated that Apple's shift to ARM processors are based on Intel's slowing performance gains. Tests that were done with the ARM processors showed significant improvements in performance particularly in the areas of graphics and running AI-powered apps. This is the third time in Apple's history that a Mac device will change its processors. 15 years ago, late Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed the company's move in bringing in Intel processors to its desktops and laptops. It is safe to say that Apple will eventually make a full transition of its Mac lineup, including the top-of-the-line computing devices, to ARM-based processors. If you're familiar with the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 that powers the Samsung Wave and Galaxy S including the new Archos Android tablets, then it's going to be easy to imagine what a dual Cortex-A15 running up to 2.5GHz would look like.
