Apple will start selling Macs that use in-house processors in 2021, based on ones in upcoming iPhones [cnet.com] and iPad Pros, Bloomberg reported [bloomberg.com] Thursday. The company is apparently working on three of its own chips, suggesting a transition away from traditional supplier Intel.

The initial batch of custom chips won't be on the same level as the Intel ones used in high-end Apple computers, so they're likely to debut in a new type of laptop, the report noted. These processors could have eight high-performance cores and at least four energy-efficient cores, respectively codenamed Firestorm and Icestorm.

Just another brick in the wall[ed garden]?
