Apple Says Goodbye To Macs Powered By Intel With The Release Of The New Mac Pro

When the first-generation M1 processor was released a few years ago, Apple entered a new era. The new chipset made it clear to everyone that Apple is prepared to sever its relationship with Intel and concentrate internally on Mac hardware. With the introduction of the new M-series Mac Pro earlier this week, that transition is now officially finished.

Since Intel’s Core chipsets have served as the foundation of Apple Mac computers for more than ten years, Apple has virtually bid goodbye to them. All of the models in Apple’s current Mac portfolio, from the entry-level MacBook Air to the high-end Mac Pro, use first- or second-generation Apple M-series silicone.

Even Intel may not have predicted the changes that would occur in the roughly three years after the first M-series processor was released with the MacBook Air. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, had spoken about updating its devices to the M-series in a short amount of time.

The iPhone, which Apple has been utilizing its A-series CPUs in from the beginning, is the greatest example to support its claim that greater control over hardware and software can provide significant rewards. After example, if the Mac was still powered by Intel CPUs, Apple would not have been able to provide you with iPhone camera functionality.

The introduction of the M-series processor has shown to us that Apple has gone above and beyond in improving the Mac hardware, both in terms of performance improvement and outstanding battery readings. Additionally, Apple demonstrated how far behind Intel was in PC chipset technology, giving the impression that the Cupertino-based company had had enough of the collaboration and had made the decision to go alone.

Relating to the Intel-powered Macs, Apple hasn’t indicated what will happen to them, including whether they will continue to get OS upgrades for a while or whether it has entirely changed its maintenance policies for the M-series Mac family.

In any case, we would advise anyone still using a Mac with an Intel SoC to consider switching to one of the M-series Macs, which includes the MacBook Air M1, to guarantee that the device will continue to get official upgrades from the manufacturer.
