The future of Intel-based Macs was not directly addressed in the provided context from WWDC. However, the emphasis on Apple Silicon and its capabilities suggests that Apple's focus is on advancing their own silicon technology. For instance, the "Platforms State of the Union" session highlights the advantages of Apple Silicon for machine learning and AI tasks, emphasizing its hardware acceleration and unified memory architecture (Platforms State of the Union).
Additionally, the session "Train your machine learning and AI models on Apple GPUs" discusses the performance benefits of using Apple Silicon GPUs for machine learning tasks, further indicating a strong push towards Apple Silicon (Train your machine learning and AI models on Apple GPUs).
Given this focus, it appears that Apple is prioritizing the development and enhancement of Apple Silicon over Intel-based Macs.
