With the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini Apple has begun to switch to their own silicon chips as they have already in the iphone and ipads. They are calling these new processors the M1. The i3 and i5 names are from the previous models from intel. Apple plans to move completely away from intel within 2 years. The advantage of the new processors are that they require no fan in the Macbook air and run at unbelievable speeds. The biggest disadvantage is that you can no longer run Windows or some programs written specifically for intel based computer systems. This shouldn't be a big problem once Apple continues to update the software and developers rewrite their code.
