It could accelerate a shakeup in an industry that has long been dependent on Intel's pace of innovation. While Intel gets less than 10% of its revenue from furnishing Apple with Mac chips, the rest of its PC business is liable to face turbulence if the iPhone maker is able to deliver demonstrably better-performing computers.
The company said it expects to finish the transition away from Intel and to its own silicon in 2022. The next two lines of Apple chips are also planned to be more ambitious than some industry watchers expected for next year. The road map indicates Apple's confidence that it can differentiate its products on the strength of its own engineering and is taking decisive steps to design Intel components out of its devices.

The company's next series of chips, planned for release as early as the spring and later in the fall, are destined to be placed across upgraded versions of the MacBook Pro, both entry-level and high-end iMac desktops, and later a new Mac Pro workstation, the people said.
If they live up to expectations, they will significantly outpace the performance of the latest machines running Intel chips, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the plans aren't yet public.Īpple's M1 chip was unveiled in a new entry-level MacBook Pro laptop, a refreshed Mac mini desktop and across the MacBook Air range. Chip engineers at the Cupertino, California-based technology giant are working on several successors to the M1 custom chip, Apple's first Mac main processor that debuted in November.
