Two fresh rumors have asserted Apple’s 15-inch MacBookAir may have a more powerful chip and sooner release date than expected. That’s exciting if it’s correct.
Apple’s upcoming 15-inch MacBook Air could be launching sooner than expected, which is encouraging for anyone who has been waiting for this much-rumored device. But the good news doesn’t end there, as it could also get a sizeable chip upgrade that would leave rival devices in the dust.

That could mean the new MacBook Air launches in late April or early May, Young believes, which would be a welcome springtime surprise for fans of Apple’s lightest laptop.
A substantial performance boost Whenever the MacBook Air launches, it could pack much more of a punch than has previously been expected. That all comes down to the way its chips are due to be made. According to various sources, those chips would be created by chip manufacturer TSMC using its N3 node. Now, though, China Times says Apple will instead use the more advanced N3E process. And while we previously heard that Apple had ordered the entire supply of TSMC’s 3nm chips, China Times says these will all be made using the advanced N3E process, giving Apple a significant lead over its competitors.
