For years now we've been hearing rumors about a plan from Apple to dump Intel's x86 processors in favor of in-house chips based on the ARM architecture. Axios
now claims they've heard from developers and Intel officials that such a move may start as soon as 2020:
What we're hearing: Although the company has yet to say so publicly, developers and Intel officials have privately told Axios they expect such a move as soon as next year.
Bloomberg offered a bit more specificity on things in a report on Wednesday, saying that the first ARM-based Macs could come in 2020, with plans to offer developers a way to write a single app that can run across iPhones, iPads and Macs by 2021.
I guess we'll have to wait and see, it's still a bit hard to believe every Mac will run on ARM in the near-future as professional applications like video editing need a lot of computing horsepower.
