Make Separate Fanless MacBook Chips

Tech, Tech Notes

I wonder if all MacBooks which are fanless should use separately designed chips, possibly named B-Series and B1, which are more appropriately targeted at the MacBook Air and future powerful fanless devices without throttling significantly or needing a fan.

Why

  • MacBooks and MacBookOS can be designed and targeted at powerful fanless MacBooks
  • The entire fanless MacBook line could use the same B-Series chips, creating consistency
  • Macs and macOS can be designed and targeted at more powerful Mac devices with fans
  • The entire Mac line with fans could use the same M-series chips, creating consistency
  • iPads and iPadOS can be designed properly and targeted at less powerful iPad devices
  • The entire iPad line could use the same Reg/Pro/Max A-Series chips, creating consistency

More

  • The MacBook B-Series chips can be targeted at laptop MacBook devices, not iPads/Macs
  • The fanless B-Series chips can be targeted exclusively to more powerful fanless devices
  • Powerful fanless chips targeted at larger devices will be needed in future fanless devices
  • Device Ideas - MacBook Pro Air, Apple Vision, iPed Portable Console, MacPad Detachable
