The tech giant Apple, now moving to build up its own ARM-based chipset for Apple MacBook Pros, later this year, to enhance their battery life while in rest mode.
For over 10 years, Apple's Mac PCs have been powered by Intel processors. However, the company has found success in designing its own A-series chipsets in Apple iPads and iPhones. So they decided to build up their own chipset for MacBook Pros.
As indicated by Bloomberg, Ian King and Mark Gurman, the new Mac chip named T310 could expand the current Intel processors, but won't replace them. Apple right now depends on the MacBook's main processor to handle these tasks, yet by building a dedicated low-power processor, Apple could decrease battery utilization significantly further.
The ARM-based chip T310 will allegedly deal with some basic tasks, such as upgrading calendar events, backing up the Time Machine drives, checking for email and installing updates. While, the 'Power Nap' feature for Mac can do various diverse while the computer is asleep, according to Macobserver.
But some of these features only work when power is plugged in, the chip that devours less energy could expand Power Nap's capabilities. It would be a good fit for the 13-inch Touch Bar model of the MacBook Pro has been often criticized for its poor battery life, since it normally gets between 5 to 6 hours when testing it out a year ago.
However, it is totally unclear that how helpful this will be for anyone who doesn't frequently leave their MacBook unplugged for hours and hours. The battery benefits may only come into play when the laptop is asleep.
Apparently, it indicates that this might be more intriguing as a step forward in Apple's hardware story. Stay tuned with SWN for more updates!
