Apple Inc. is planning to use its own chips in Mac computers beginning as early as 2020, replacing processors from Intel Corp., according to people familiar with the plans.

The initiative, code named Kalamata, is still in the early developmental stages, but comes as part of a larger strategy to make all of Apple’s devices — including Macs, iPhones, and iPads — work more similarly and seamlessly together, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The project, which executives have approved, will likely result in a multi-step transition.

Apple has already shown their prowess at developing powerful, energy-efficient processors with their A-series chips. And I can only imagine what they’ll be capable of when they’re design for Macs that will, presumably, feature larger batteries and a higher tolerance for heat.
