Manzana wanted to get rid of Intel, for this it has added its own processors to computers. Thus The M1 was born, the first Apple Silicon processor based on ARM, thus eliminating (almost) all traces of Intel in their Mac computers. But it seems that with the M2 Apple has eliminated all traces of Intel chips in their computers. The change has been discovered by iFixit in the disassembly of a MacBook Air M2 and it has been published by SkyJuic on Twitter.
Apple used Intel chips for USB 4.0 timers model JHL8040R, in this latest MacBook Air M2 have been replaced by a custom model called U09PY3 that performs the same function. In this way Apple has removed last trace of intel that remained on their Mac laptops, replacing this element with another of another brand.
As for processors, there is only replace Intel Xeon W of the latest Mac Pro released in 2019. This more professional workstation-oriented Mac has Intel Xeon W processors up to 28 cores, something that at the moment it seems that Apple cannot offer with its Silicon processors. It is known that Apple is working on processors More powerful M2, M2 Pro and M2 Maxwhich will launch in a new MacBook Pro model later this year or early next year, we may see a variant capable of competing with these Intel Xeons and replacing them in your next Mac Pro.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write in Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
