An M4 MacBook Air is coming in 2025, but you don’t have to wait for an upgraded model
Mark Gurman has been that an M4 MacBook Air is coming in 2025, but you don’t have to wait for an upgraded model. That’s because of a recent upgrade to the existing MacBook line that is arguably more significant than a generational chip swap.
First, there’s not much mystery about what to expect from the M4 MacBook Air in 2025. That’s because the M4 chip has been in machines since the latest iPad Pro revision, and the
Fujitsu flaunts massive 144-core Monaka Arm chip — 2nm and 5nm chiplets, 3D-stacked CPU cores over memory
Fujitsu has demonstrated a mechanical sample of its Armv9-based 144-core Monaka processor for data centers, revealing some details. Less than a week ago, it disclosed that it is being developed with Broadcom and relies on its 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package platform. Satoshi Matsuoka, director of the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) and a professor at Tokyo Tech, published the image.
Fujitsu's Monaka is a huge CoWoS system-
Apple Intelligence Servers Could Be Treated To A New AI Chip That Will Be Developed With A Helping Hand From Broadcom
To push into the generative AI space with unrelenting force, Apple Intelligence servers that were currently equipped with the M2 Ultra will eventually be replaced by the M4 Ultra, assuming the company releases it during the intended launch timeframe. However, it appears that a new chip is being developed by Apple, but the company is not taking this route on its own because a new report states that Broadcom will also be involved. The unnamed chip is codenamed ‘Baltra’ and is said to be released in 2026

Apple rumored to work with Broadcom on first server chip for AI, putting conversational Siri timeline in focus
In a heavily paywalled article, The Information reports that Apple is partnering with Broadcom to develop a new AI chip specifically designed for server use. Apple currently runs Apple Intelligence through its M-series chips on its servers through a system known as Private Cloud Compute. The distinction, according to the report, is that the new chip expected as soon as 2026, will be Apple’s first server chip specifically designed for AI tasks.
The Information cites “one of the people” in saying that Broadcom is
Future Apple Watch Models Will Reportedly Ditch Intel Modems, And Transition To MediaTek’s Solutions, Which Will Make These Devices 5G-Ready
Current-generation Apple Watch models are probably the only devices whose internals comprise of Intel’s modems, but it appears that this alliance will come to an end, with the California-based giant eyeing a future and prosperous partnership with Taiwanese fabless semiconductor manufacturer MediaTek. According to the latest report, the new tag-team will allow Apple to leverage the chipset maker’s 5G modems, bringing advanced wireless connectivity to its future smartwatch watches. MediaTek’s 5G modems designed for future Apple Watch models will not
