Reliable leaker suggests redesigned 2021 MacBooks will include both Apple Silicon and Intel models

A reliable leaker known as “L0vetodream” today suggested on Twitter that redesigned MacBooks coming in the second half of 2021 will include models with Apple Silicon chips and Intel processors.

The brief Tweet came in response to a MacRumors article from earlier today, which described a report by Ming-Chi Kuo claiming that Apple plans to release redesigned MacBook models with “ Apple Silicon ” in the second half of 2021.

L0vetodream is simply saying that the MacBook redesigns expected in the second half of 2021 will not only affect ‘Apple Silicon’ models, which implies that the redesigns will also affect the new Intel-based MacBooks.

Apple has just released its first ‌Apple Silicon‌ Macs, which include the MacBook Air and low-end configurations of the 13-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ and Mac mini. While the new MacBook Pro and ‌Mac mini‌ still have a few shortcomings compared to their more expensive Intel counterparts, they demonstrate better performance in a number of core benchmarks, even when matching or beating high-end machines like the MacBook Pro. 16 inches in some Tasks.

As a result, L0vetodream’s claim is a bit curious given that these rumored redesigned MacBooks are still over six months away, giving Apple time to further improve the performance of “Apple Silicon”.

Announcing the transition to “Apple Silicon” chips for Mac at WWDC in June, Apple said the transition to “Apple Silicon” would take about two years and that new Macs with Intel processors were still in development.

We’ve already seen a few with updated 27-inch iMac models in August, and many have surmised, based on the competitive performance of Apple’s M1 chip, that most Apple Macs would just switch quickly. to “ Apple Silicon, ” with only specialist models like the Mac Pro and iMac Pro taking perhaps the full two years to make the transition.
