Intel plans can seriously affect the release of new Apple computers in 2014

If the development of processors , but rather systems on a chip for its mobile devices and set-top box Apple Tutor , the company's computers are completely dependent on Intel and its launch of new graphics processors. 


Last after launch Haswell not jump to conclusions on the market generation processors Broadwell, which can seriously affect the launch of a new chart of poppies in 2014.

In late January , we reported that Intel plans to delay the release generation processors Broadwell until the third quarter . This information is already affected MacBook Air, if you start from the schedule for updating their Apple computers in 2013 . In the MacBook Air uses a special mobile version of Intel Haswell equal to the energy consumption of 15 watts. This indicator allowed the latest generation of ultra-thin laptop to show such an impressive battery life.

At the disposal site VR-Zone were two images with plans to launch the new Intel processors in 2014. Based on this schedule , the replacement of the mobile processor Intel Haswell if it appears in the third quarter , it will be only a minor update in the framework of the same generation. 


Count on Broadwell will only be possible from the fourth quarter . Thus, before Apple has two choices: to update MacBook Air with the platform Haswell, that almost does not make sense , or to release a new generation of Air only at the end of the year.
Situation is not better with MacBook Pro with display Retina, at least with its 13-inch version. Currently it uses three variants Intel Haswell processor with energy consumption equal to 28 watts. According to plans of Intel, this year , these processors do not get a replacement, and will be updated as part of the same generation Haswell. First processors Broadwell, which could be used in 13 -inch Retina MacBook Pro will appear only in the first quarter of next year .
Pro 15-inch professional notebook Apple still can not say anything , because data processors used in its modifications , no. In any case, the update is unlikely to be separate from the 13 -inch MacBook Pro with display Retina, and themselves 4 -core processors will certainly not before the third quarter. Although given recent trends in the plans Intel, it could also be already in 2015 .

As for the iMac, then the entire line of processors used in monoblocks Apple, get an update within the generation Haswell with a small increase clock speed and processor models index rose slightly. Also in the arsenal again present Apple Mac Pro, which is now available only in April. Nevertheless , there is every reason to believe that in the second half of the workstation will be transferred to Apple processors Haswell-E Xeon E5. Finally , Mac mini, whose fate is still unclear, as can finally get Haswell processor generation with a much more powerful graphics and left without updates . All depends more on the plans for the cheapest Apple your computer , rather than on graphics Intel.

Currently Intel is preparing to launch an updated line of processors Haswell, to compensate for the delay in time to market generation Broadwell. Updated processors already familiar to us generation are likely to be the main offer Intel for most of the year. This can significantly affect Apple's plans to launch the updated MacBook and other poppies in 2014. Hardly in Cupertino will go to such a minor update platform for the announcement of new models. It is possible that the third quarter of Apple computers simply will be transferred to an updated platform Haswell without separate announcement. Also remains little hope that Apple will receive necessary to launch new models processors Broadwell bit earlier than other computer manufacturers and updated poppies will be launched in the autumn. In any case, this is a serious argument in favor of buying a new poppy now because the wait may well be delayed .
