Apple Inc is working on its own Mac chips, which could replace the Intel processors currently running on its computers as soon as 2020, according to a report by Bloomberg.根据彭博社的一篇报导，苹果公司正在打造出自己的Mac电脑芯片，最先将在2020年代替目前其电脑上运营的英特尔处理器。The project, called Kalamata, has been approved by the companys executives but is still in early stages of development and may face a multi-step transition.这个取名为“卡拉玛塔”的项目已取得苹果高层批准后，但目前尚能正处于研发的初期阶段，可能会逐步展开过渡性。The project would be part of Apples grand plan of making all of its devices, including Macs, iPhones and iPads, work more seamlessly together.该项目或将是苹果使其所有设备，还包括Mac电脑、iPhone和iPad更加紧密结合这一宏伟计划的一部分。

In addition, shifting to its own chips would allow Apple to release new Macs on its own timelines, instead of following Intels processor roadmap.此外，用于自家芯片将使苹果需要按照自身的时间表公布新的Mac电脑，不必再行回来英特尔处理器的步调亦步亦趋。Besides the Kalamata project, Apple is also working on a software platform code-named Marzipan, which aims to enable software developers to create apps that would work for both the iOS operating system running on iPhones and iPads and the macOS running on Mac computers, according to the report.该报导称之为，除了卡拉玛塔项目，苹果还在研发一个代号为“杏仁糖”的软件平台，其目的是让软件开发者需要研发出有既能用作在iphone和ipad上运营的iOS操作系统，也可以用作在Mac电脑上运营的macOS操作系统的应用于。

The platform might be introduced to the public as early as this year, with a great chance to be launched at the companys Worldwide Developers Conference in June.该平台最先将于今年与公众见面，并很有可能在今年6月份举办的苹果全球开发者大会上公布。Apples potential shift, which could be potentially abandoned or delayed, has already given Intel Corp a hard hit in the market, as its shares dropped as much as 9.2 percent on the news.苹果的这一潜在转变（虽仍有可能退出或延期），早已让英特尔公司在市场上遭到了重创，在消息爆出后，英特尔的股价暴跌了9.2%。5 percent of Intels annual revenue is contributed by Apple, according to the report.该报导称之为，英特尔每年的营收中有5%是苹果贡献的。
