Intel today unveiled their upcoming series of processors destined for 2019, Sunny Cove, based upon a 10nm architecture. Set for Intel’s Core and Xeon series, they could be found in upcoming Mac models seen in 2019 and beyond.
The chips are described as being “deeper, wider and smarter“, and will offer greater performance paired with reduced power draw.
The die shrink comes after a handful of delays, as Intel initially scheduled 10nm mass production for as early as 2015. Manufacturing woes pushed the date back to 2018, with the company now finally promising 10nm processors in consumer hands by mid-2019.
While there’s obviously no official word about which computers these CPUs will ultimately be found in, subsequent Mac updates will likely utilize the 10nm process — whether from Intel or not.
Intel also detailed its upcoming Gen11 integrated GPU, however, it was demonstrated today integrated with current 8th-gen Cannon Lake processors.
