Rumor: Apple is to be developing a new ARM processor that can beat Intel’s 32-core high-performance CPU

Apple’s earlier introduction of the M1 chip attracted the attention of the industry, mainly because this ARM-based chip even surpasses many x86 chips in performance.

Purely from the benchmark test, this chip is 2.8 times faster than ordinary Intel processors, and the GPU speed of M1 can be increased by 5 times compared with Intel integrated GPU.

Of course, Intel still has many high-performance processors that did not participate in such tests. These high-performance processors are usually used by servers or workstations.

However, the latest media reports claim that Apple is developing new chips that can beat all Intel’s 32-core high-performance processors.

According to Bloomberg reports, Apple is developing a variety of new processors based on the ARM architecture. These new processors are prepared by Apple for different types of Macs.

The performance of the highest configuration version will exceed Intel’s 32-core high-performance processors. These new processors are expected to be on the market around 2021.

Apple intends to use these processors on MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, and MacPro, so the research and development work is intense.

Among these new processors, which are suitable for mid-to-high-end products, will support 16-core and 32-core graphics components, and the highest version will support 32 high-performance cores.

At the same time, Apple will also prepare dedicated core tests for 64-bit and 128-bit dedicated high-end devices, including high-performance cores and graphics upgrades with extremely high specifications.

Finally, if it goes smoothly, Apple will complete the transition from Intel chips to Apple’s self-developed chips in 2022, when Apple will no longer launch x86 architecture devices.
