Next-Gen Apple's ARM MacBook and iMac first specs revealed

A new report from China lists a few specifications for the 12-inch MacBook and the next-generation iMac. Not only is the technology of the brand new ultrabook exciting, which has a battery life of up to 20 hours with a weight of less than one kilogram. But also the iMac, which is to have a dedicated graphics chip.

Apple announced at WWDC in June that all Macs should be equipped with ARM processors in two years’ time. One of the well known Leaker recently provided initial information on the new 12-inch MacBook. The China Times published additional information allegedly coming straight from the supply chain.

First A14X processor to be mass-produced and commercialized using TSMC’s 5nm process

Apple recently announced its own development and design of Arm-based Apple Silicon processors that can be used in Macbooks and iMacs. The industry expects the first A14X processor to be mass-produced and commercialized using TSMC’s 5nm process as early as the fourth quarter of this year. Recently, there were reports from the industry that Apple will partner with Apple Silicon to launch its own graphics processing unit (GPU). Which will also be manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm process and will be used in the iMac. Which will be released in the second half of next year.

Apple next generation macbook — According to the alleged roadmap, Apple will soon be installing its own dedicated graphics card in the iMac

Apple announced at WWDC in June this year that its Mac personal computers will migrate from an x86-based Intel CPU to an Arm-based Apple Silicon processor over the next two years. Industry sources indicated that Apple’s first A14X processor has been completed and will begin mass production using TSMC’s 5nm process before the end of the year.

Apple’s supply chain industry noted that by the end of this year, Apple is expected to release a Macbook with a 12-inch Retina display using the self-designed and developed A14X processor. The codenamed is Tonga and supporting USB Type-C. It is Less than 1 kilogram, due to the low power consumption of the Arm architecture processor. The battery life of the new Macbook can reach 15-20 hours. The A14X processor will also be used in the next-generation iPad Pro tablets.

Apple GPU Phase 2 TSMC Provide better performance and fast computing

In the past, Apple introduced Mac personal computers with Intel processors equipped with Huida or AMD GPUs. But industry insiders pointed out that Apple has dropped support for AMD GPUs in the 64-bit macOS Arm operating system. He indicating that Apple will be adopted in the future. … Silicon’s Mac personal computers can use a graphics processor designed and engineered by Apple. The industry recently announced that in addition to Apple’s Silicon processors, Apple’s iMac desktops launched next year will also feature Apple’s own GPUs.

According to relevant sources, Apple’s proprietary GPU is evolving smoothly. The research and development code is Lifuka. Like the upcoming A14X processor, it is manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm process. Apple has developed a series of processors for Mac personal computers. The new GPU will provide better performance per watt and faster computing performance. It has tile-based deferred rendering technology that allows application developers to write more powerful professional applications and gaming software.

TSMC will no longer be able to manufacture products for Huawei HiSilicon after September 14th. The 5nm capacity freed up in the fourth quarter was covered by Apple. In addition to producing the A14 Bionic application processor on the iPhone 12 smartphone. The company has also started producing the A14X processors. Device. The entity expects TSMC’s 5nm and 7nm manufacturing facilities, originally reserved for Huawei HiSilicon, to be booked by other customers in the fourth quarter. We hope that next quarter revenues will continue to hit record highs and annualized dollar revenues will rise from last year. More than 20% of the target will be successfully completed.
