“Most likely you’re going to see a number of announcements at CES in 2024,” he added.
In November 2021, the chip-maker had talked about making a competitor to then Apple’s M1 series of processors.
However, the iPhone maker has since released the M2 range, and according to multiple rumours it will have an M3 in a Mac by the end of this year, the report said.
Last month, it was reported that Qualcomm was developing a new chipset that will compete against Apple’s M-series processors.
