The Intel Mac is one step closer to joining the likes of the iPod and the Apple Newton. Following the launch of the new Mac Pro at WWDC 2023, powered by the new M2 Ultra chip, it means all Apple’s desktops now run on Apple-made chips. Now the only question is, how long will it be before the Intel machines are officially declared obsolete?
Hopefully that changeover won’t come for some time. The M1, Apple’s first in-house desktop chip, didn’t launch until November 2020 — just over two and a half years ago. Meanwhile macOS 14 Sonoma, which launches later this year, still supports plenty of Intel machines.
