Reliable Leaker Suggests Redesigned MacBooks in 2021 Will Include Both Apple Silicon and Intel ModelsReliable leaker known as "L0vetodream" has today suggested on
Twitter that redesigned MacBooks coming in the second half of 2021 will include models with both
Apple Silicon chips and Intel processors.
The brief Tweet came in response to a
MacRumors article from earlier today, which outlined a report from
Ming-Chi Kuo claiming that Apple plans to release redesigned MacBook models with ‌Apple Silicon‌ in the second half of 2021.

L0vetodream simply says that the MacBook redesigns expected in the second half of 2021 will not be only for ‌Apple Silicon‌ models, implying that the redesigns will also come to new Intel-based MacBooks.
Apple just released its first ‌Apple Silicon‌ Macs, which include the
MacBook Air and lower-end configurations of the 13-inch MacBook Pro and
Mac mini. While the new MacBook Pro and ‌Mac mini‌ still have a few shortcomings relative to their more expensive Intel counterparts, they are demonstrating better performance in a number of core benchmarks, even matching or outperforming higher-end machines like the 16-inch MacBook Pro in some tasks.
As a result, L0vetodream's claim is a bit curious given that these rumored redesigned MacBooks are still more than six months away, which gives Apple time to improve the performance of ‌Apple Silicon‌ even further.
In announcing the transition to ‌Apple Silicon‌ chips for the Mac at WWDC in June, Apple said that the transition to ‌Apple Silicon‌ would take about two years and that new Macs with Intel processors were still in the pipeline.
We've already seen a few of those with
updated 27-inch iMac models in August, and so many have assumed based on the competitive performance of Apple's M1 chip that most of Apple's Macs will be quickly moving solely to ‌Apple Silicon‌, with only specialized models like the
Mac Pro and
iMac Pro perhaps taking the full two years to make the transition.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups:
