ExtremeTech says there’s “some evidence” that Intel may have reserved an entire lineup of parts just for Mac laptops. No, it didn’t make a custom chip, it’s offering “specific combinations of cache, core counts, and frequencies: tailored to Apple’s needs.
“Up until recently, Intel had listed a Core i7-1068G7 on the Ark.Intel.com website,” says ExtremeTech. “Now, that chip has vanished, with the Core i7-1065G7 at the top of the Ice Lake-derived product family instead. The Core i7-1068G7 has quietly moved over to become the Core i7-1068NG7, which reportedly means that the chip is now an Apple-only part.”
