Apple Silicon was first previewed at this year’s WWDC 2020 keynote, with the company stating that the first products featuring the first chipset would arrive later this year. That’s about all the information provided by Apple but thankfully, we can rely on some tipsters to do the rest. According to one of them, the first Apple Silicon will be a 12-core chipset and we can already expect great things from it. Here’s all that you need to know.

A Twitter user going by the handle ‘a_rumors0000’ claims that the first Apple Silicon will feature 12 cores. Unfortunately, since Apple’s custom A-series chipsets are divided into performance and efficiency cores, we don’t know what the configuration of this ARM SoC will be. We also don’t know what will Apple be calling it, but it looks like we’ll find out in the future.
