Esikhathini esithile esedlule besivele sikhulume ngokusha Amaprosesa we-Intel abizwa nge-SkyLake. La maprosesa amasha akhiwe ngama-nanometer ayi-2015, okusho ukuthi a ukusetshenziswa okuphansi nokusebenza okuphezulu emshinini. Imininingwane emisha ngalezi zinqubo manje seyiveziwe lapho ungabona khona imininingwane emisha mayelana nokucaciswa nemininingwane yokusebenza.
Ezithombeni ezihlungiwe ungabona imininingwane ethile qinisekisa ukuthuthuka kunenguqulo yangaphambilini ebizwa ngokuthi: Broadwell, futhi kugcizelelwa impilo yebhethri ephezulu ngenxa yokwakhiwa kwezakhiwo. Zibonisa nemininingwane phakathi kwezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zeprosesa: Y, U, H, S. Endabeni yama-MacBooks amasha angama-intshi ama-12 akhishwe yi-Apple kulo nyaka, iprosesa esetshenzisiwe uchungechunge lwe-Y, okwandisa ukusebenza kwe-chip yehluzo ehlanganisiwe ekusetshenzisweni kwejubane.
Amanye amamodeli wale SkyLake akuveli kulezi zithombe ezihlungiwe kepha lokho kwaziwa ngobukhona bayo yi ukuvuza kwangaphambilini futhi lokhu kuhloselwe ngokuzayo iMac, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini ne-Mac Pro. Mhlawumbe i-T Series ye-MacBook Air, i-H Series ye-MacBook Pro kanye ne-S Series yamadeskithophu.
U-Apple ubelokhu edonsisana ngempi nabaprosesa be-Intel isikhathi eside futhi inkampani yaseCupertino ethembele kubantu besithathu ukwenza amaprosesa kudale izinhlungu eziningi zekhanda ngisho nokubambezeleka kokukhishwa kwazo. Baningi labo phakamisa imibuzo ngokuthi ngabe i-Apple izogcina izenzele amaprosesa ayo yini ngokuzayo, kepha kubonakala sengathi okwamanje lokhu kukude nemicabango yenkampani futhi ngokubona okuningi ukuthi kuvuselela ama-Macs ngejubane elincane kodwa eliqhubekayo.
