Apple is said to be working on a new ARM-based custom chip for its Mac lineup which when put into effect should reduce dependence on Intel processors that largely power the current generation. Apple may not be looking to push Intel completely out of the picture, however, and its new MacBook (Pro) may (still) be powered by Intel's new Kaby Lake generation chips. For now, Apple's custom chip will reportedly be used for dedicated tasks like maintaining background app activity which could preserve battery life. "The new chip may first become available in an upgraded version of the MacBook Pro laptop planned for later this year," it adds.
