Reports of Apple trying to bring chipsets based on ARM’s designs to notebooks are not new. They’ve been floating around on the rumor mill for years and continue to pop up after brief pauses. The latest instance was in April of this year when Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman repeated earlier claims of Apple looking to make the transition to ARM from Intel.
However, Gurman didn’t provide a timeline for the shift and tried to keep matters neutral by suggesting that it would be layered, meaning that Apple will transition from Intel’s x86 ISA to ARM64 in steps. Now, some interesting supply chain reports for an ‘Apple Star’ have started to surface, which offer some interesting food for thought. Take a look below for more details.
