Apple may ditch Dialog Semiconductor and design its own battery power management chips Power Management Integrated Circuits, or PMIC, help regulate the. Though Apple has been making custom chips for its phones, tablets, and wearables for years now, the company is only just starting to bring its house-made chips to the Mac. Apple is expected to ditch Intel's x86 architecture using its own chips in the Mac as soon as 2020, with the fruits of project 'Kalamata' similar to a move that it has pulled twice before.

Apple made the switch from its own chips in its Mac computers to Intel's in 2005, a decision that is credited with helping to bolster the Cupertino company's fortunes. Is designing a new chip for future Mac laptops that would take on more of the functionality currently handled by Intel Corp. Processors, according to people familiar with the matter.

According to Bloomberg, 'Kalamata' is, and is part of a larger strategy to make Apple devices work with more integration than they currently do. At first glance, the project appears to be similar to the 'fat binary' approach Apple has taken in the past, both with the shift from 68K processors to PowerPC, and then with PowerPC to x86 with Rosetta. The transition is said to be 'multi-step' —but few details are known at present. Prior to a shift in hardware, Apple plans to lay groundwork with software as part of its initiative. Aside from a new code name, today's report offers little in the way of new information. The prediction isn't revelatory, given Apple's history. Apple internally started the shift to PowerPC chips in 1991, with the transition happening for consumers a bit more than two years later.

Rumors that Apple plans to switch away from x86 to its own custom silicon have been circulating for a decade. Rumblings have been heard since at least since 2008, when the tech giant for a reported $278 million. After specifying several iterations of ARM-based system-on-chip packages for use in early iPhone models, Apple purchased chipmaker and released its own mobile processor design in the A4. Industry scuttlebutt concerning inevitable integration in Mac followed in 2011, when a report claimed Apple would deliver a desktop version of its 64-bit ARM platform, gossip seemingly backed up by a buy-in in 2013. That hearsay bore no fruit, but Apple's work toward a first-party solution continued.
