The launch of the rumored 12-inch Retina Display MacBook may be pushed back due to delays with Intel's Broadwell chips, reports Taiwan's Economic Daily News.
The new MacBook apparently won't ship until late 2014 or early 2015 as it is expected to use Intel's 14nm chips which have been delayed several times. Current reports suggest that the chips may not even ship until February 2015.
In June, supply-chain sources claimed that Apple's 12-inch MacBook Air would enter mass production in the third quarter of 2014.
Intel's latest chips, the i7 showed less performance in current MacBooks updated but some videos show them coming first in loading some things, so Intel better improve these and not screw up.
