"At its 2020 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced a non-commercial prototype computer called "Developer Transition Kit" (DTK).[1] It is intended to assist software developers during the transition of the Macintosh platform to the ARM architecture. Described informally as "an iPad in a Mac mini’s body,"[2] the DTK carries a model number of A2330 and identifies itself as "Apple Development Platform."[3][4] It consists of an A12Z processor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and a variety of common I/O ports (USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet) in a Mac mini case"
"..Even that DTK hardware, which is running on an existing iPad chip that we don’t intend to put in a Mac in the future – it’s just there for the transition – the Mac runs awfully nice on that system. It’s not a basis on which to judge future Macs ... but it gives you a sense of what our silicon team can do when they’re not even trying – and they’re going to be trying." - Apple SVP
"The Apple A12Z Bionic is a 64-bit ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc.The chip was unveiled on March 18, 2020, as part of a press release for the iPad Pro (2020), the first device to use it.[1] Apple officials touted the chip as faster than most Windows laptops of the time.
