as was expected to WWDC 2020, the new architecture-based processors ARM. This means that the new Macs will be manufactured with the company's own chips. Apple with ARM architecture, replacing previous processors from Intel, and this transition can take up to two years. 3i3f3n
The transition between processors was the biggest novelty of this conference. According to Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, processors Apple silicon will present better performance and with the lowest possible energy consumption, in addition to investments in an integrated high-performance GPU, neural networks and security improvements, among other technologies present in the processors. It is worth ing that these processors with ARM architecture are already used in the iPhone e iPad since 2010, and will now be manufactured with a high evolution to replace previous Intel processors.
O macOS 11 BigSur will be the first system for Mac designed to processors with architecture ARM, with a new interface, buttons and notification center similar to iPhones and iPads. In addition, native applications such as safari, will be improved and in the case of the official Apple browser there will be for more extensions, privacy improvements showing the Trackers (trackers) within a site, and is promised to be 50% faster than Google Chrome.
Application development companies are already adapting to the new processors. THE Microsoft is adapting Office to run natively on the new chip Apple silicon. In addition Adobe is also adapting to this new architecture, including at the conference the programs Lightroom e Photoshop running on new Macs.
The native programs Apple as the Final Cut Pro e Logic Pro will run on new ARM processors and will be able from Mac App Store from other Apple Silicon compatible applications. Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi says most applications will change within a few days.
macOS 11 Big Sur will also come with a new software version Rosetta, which will allow apps produced to run on Intel processors to run on the new ARM platform.
A Apple also announced the development of a kit for developers to work on creating the new ARM-architected applications. Developers will have access to the kit that consists of a Mac mini modified, A12Z chip, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD. In addition, Apple is also releasing the Universal App Quick Start Program which will provide access to documentation, forum , beta version of MacOS 11 BigSur and Xcode 12.
The evolution of Apple processors to the ARM architecture 5g352j
Apple computers used processors with the architecture PowerPC from the early 90s until 2006, when the Intel started to supply its new Core line processors. The first Intel-based Macs arrived in 2006, with the Mac OS X Tiger, and soon after, in 2007, the Mac OS X Leopard was the last operating system to PowerPC.
The switch came naturally, as the PowerPC G5 processors consumed a lot of power and overheated, which would impede Steve Jobs' plans to create ultra-thin computers like the MacBook Air. Since then, Apple has manufactured Macs with Intel processors and will now invest in self-made processors with ARM architecture, which has been used since 2010 with the implementation of the A4 chip in the first iPad and iPhone. 4. Thus, Apple will certainly have autonomy and all the technology in its favor to produce the best processors in the brand's history.
