Apple Silicon was originally revealed in 2020, and the business gradually moved to its own processors from Intel over a two-year period that finished in mid-2023. While the business is anticipated to release new Mac laptops with its next-generation M5 chip later this year, information on its processors, which are set to come in 2026 and 2027, has appeared online. The corporation is also claimed to be working on chips for its AI servers, which would execute AI queries in the cloud.
Apple Silicon Chip Codenames for M5, M6, and AI Servers are Leaked
According to Bloomberg, Apple is developing the M6 microprocessor, which is slated to power Mac computers when they launch in 2026. This CPU, codenamed Komodo, is expected to debut a year after this year's M5 chip in Apple's next-generation MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models.
According to the source, Apple is also creating its seventh-generation M7 processor, known internally as Borneo. If Apple's prior release timetable is any indicator, the corporation may deliver new Mac laptops using M7 CPUs in 2027.
The article also mentions another semiconductor in development, called 'Sotra'. It is described as a "advanced Mac chip," but there is no further information on how it will vary from existing Apple Silicon processors or when it will be released.
According to the article, Apple is also building its own CPUs for AI servers. While many Apple Intelligence capabilities are intended to function on the user's device, the firm will offload some AI queries and execute them remotely on its servers. These servers are likely to transition to specialized CPUs rather than Apple's Mac chips.
The amount of CPU and GPU cores will apparently be up to eight times that of the top-of-the-line M3 Ultra processor, giving these new AI server ships a significant edge. This project is known as 'Baltra' inside the Cupertino corporation and might be finished within the next few years.
