News & Reviews:   A14X Bionic

The postponement of Apple's March event means that the iPad Pro won't be launched till April 2021. But there has been a lot of rumours about this device in recent months, so we know quite a bit about it. Now, we also know the exact chipset it would have.

Back in June, Apple confirmed that it was making the transition from Intel CPUs to ARM-based chips for its Mac PCs. This includes the MacBook laptops, which many have claimed will feature the A14X Bionic chipset. It's still unknown whether Apple would hold an event to launch the new laptops, but a new report confirms that the 12-inch MacBook will be the first to get the new chip.

As some of you may know, TSMC is manufacturing the A14X Bionic chipset for Apple's next iteration of the iPad Pro and iPad Air. With the move to 5nm, this chipset is expected to deliver greater performance and power efficiency. We're seeing some signs of that now after some benchmark data for it was leaked yesterday.

Now that Apple is making the transition from Intel chips to ARM chips for its MacBooks, many have been eager to see what kind of differences this change could entail. And from what the latest rumour suggests, the change is going to be a huge one. Sources have reported that that the 12-inch MacBook is making a comeback and it's going to have a sweet retail price.
