【CNMO科技消息】5月7日,据外媒报道,苹果已启动新一批A18 Pro芯片的生产,以应对MacBook Neo笔记本电脑超出预期的市场需求。相关爆料信息显示,苹果目前计划总计生产约1000万台MacBook Neo,约为最初订购数量的两倍。

外媒指出,首批量产的MacBook Neo采用原本是为iPhone 16 Pro准备、剩余闲置的A18 Pro芯片库存。由于芯片的良品率无法做到百分百,部分芯片会出现核心瑕疵的情况。iPhone 16 Pro搭载的A18 Pro配备6个GPU核心。对于缺少1个GPU核心的芯片,苹果没有直接报废,而是入库留存,转而用在MacBook Neo上——这款笔记本官方标注搭载5核GPU的A18 Pro芯片。

但爆料信息显示,这批降级芯片的库存即将耗尽。因此,苹果需要台积电生产新一批A18 Pro芯片,用来满足供应链新增的500万台MacBook Neo生产订单。

相比首批机型 “零成本复用库存芯片”,新一轮定制芯片订单显然会大幅增加苹果的开支。目前尚不清楚苹果会自行消化成本、压缩后续MacBook Neo的利润空间,还是会以某种方式把成本转嫁到消费者身上。

据CNMO科技了解,外界猜测,苹果预计于2027年初推出搭载A19 Pro芯片的第二代MacBook Neo,可能再次利用iPhone 17系列的降级芯片库存。
