Much has been said in recent years about the possibility that Apple start designing and building your own chips on Macs. But at the moment it was just a rumor that has not yet seen the light, but that seems to be taking shape according to Bloomberg.
According to Bloomberg, Apple could definitely break its relationship with Intel in 2020, the year in which the collaboration that has joined Intel in the last 15 years would end. As usual, Apple has not confirmed or denied the announcement, as soon as the news was published, Intel shares have fallen more than 7%.
Apparently the third major change that Apple would make in this regard is called the Kalamata project, a project that aims to make all the company's devices work seamlessly, a project that was approved a long time ago and that will finally see the light soon, in the first teams.
A few months ago, it was rumored that Apple could be working on being able to easily port Mac applications to iOS, and everything seems to indicate that this Kalamata project has this as its main objective. Hopefully, Apple should be very clear about what it is doing by abandoning Intel, although we do not know if it will do so completely or if it will continue to use it for the most powerful computers, until the Cupertino-based company can catch up. .
According to Bloomberg, This process will take place in several phases that will end in 2020, so it may be that this year, at the latest next, the guys from Apple, can present the first Mac managed by a processor designed and manufactured by Apple. For now, we have to wait for the celebration of WWDC 2018, an event in which Apple could present the first Mac with its own processor, since it would be the perfect framework for developers to start working on applications that can work in both ecosystems.
