Apple may announce Macs with ARM chip at WWDC20; first model would be the 13 ″ MacBook Pro

That Apple will make an important new transition on Macs, that everyone who follows this world of technology already knows. I leave the scene the processors of Intel and enter the chips ARM, created by Ma.

Much has been speculated about the possibility of this announcement being made now, in the WWDC20, with Macs equipped with ARM chips hitting the market in 2021. Now, one of the most important names in the forecasting scenario involving Apple launches has commented on the matter.

According to the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it does happen. Tomorrow, Monday (6/22), Tim Cook and his team will officially announce the transition; the first Macs equipped with the new processors themselves would begin, according to Kuo, to hit the market in late 2020 / early 2021.

The first Mac to be launched with the new chip is the 13 ″ MacBook Pro, that to continue with the same visual such launching will still happen in 2020, according to Kuo. The iMac would be the second to make the transition; but before that, he still gets an upgrade using chips from Intel.

But anyone who thinks this is an upgrade is mistaken: the analyst says that he finally gets a completely new look, in addition to a 24-inch screen, sometime in the third quarter, that is, starting in July, and may well be announced now at WWDC20. Later, in 2021, this iMac would migrate from the Intel chip to the ARM.

From that moment on, any and all Mac launched will have ARM chips, according to the analyst. These new Macs are expected to perform 50-100% better than the current one, based on Intel technologies.

But his forecasts don't stop there: Kuo also said that a new MacBook model (not specified), with a totally new design and, of course, ARM chip will go into production in the second half of 2021; in the meantime, new MacBooks with a Mini-LED display will be launched in the first half of 2021 but he did not specify whether they would be Air or Pro.
