MacBook 2021 Range Tipped to Include Both Intel and Apple Silicon Models

MacBook models in 2021 are tipped to have both Apple Silicon and Intel chips as options. This comes after noted TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released his predictions for the possible launch timeline of the redesigned MacBook range with the new Apple Silicon. He claims that a redesign for the Apple Silicon-based MacBook line-up will be launched in the second half of 2021. However, a new leak claims that the redesigned MacBook range may also see Intel-powered models next year.

Noted tipster “L0vetodream” adds that the redesigned MacBook models expected to launch in the second half of 2021 will not only be Apple Silicon-based. He retweeted a MacRumors report on Kuo’s predictions adding “not only for Silicon”, hinting that company will not only launch Apple Silicon-powered MacBook models. It is therefore presumed that the tipster may be implying that more Intel-powered MacBooks will be part of the redesign strategy as well.

At WWDC, Apple announced its intentions to reduce its reliance on Intel chips for its Mac line-up. The company said it would take about two years for the entire Mac line-up to transition to the new Apple Silicon chips. Just earlier this month, the Cupertino giant introduced new versions of its popular MacBook Pro 13-inch, MacBook Air, and Mac mini computers powered by its in-house Apple M1 SoC. This new processor features eight cores (four high-power and four power-efficient) as well as a custom integrated GPU.
