I saw something recently which also hinted that the AMD Ryzen chip was also being considered. I guess we'll find out whenever an official announcement is made.
To me the ARM processor change is probably more likely. That would seem to make even tighter integration between the iPone and Mac possible.

...what bugs me about all this is Apple has lied many times and said they would NEVER combine the two (IOS and Mac OS)...That is one reason I really do not like windows 10. It's Tablet and computer in one OS.
There have been no rumors whatsoever about Apple merging the Mac OS with iOS.
Apple allowing some Mac apps to run in iOS, and some iOS apps to run in Mac OS is not a merging of the operating systems.
And Apple has never "lied" about the above. They have said that the Mac OS is optimized for computers with keyboards and mice, and that iOS is optimized for touchscreen devices. Near as I can tell, that will continue to be an advantage that Apple has over Windows; they will use an OS appropriate for the type of device it is running on.
Unless they have an absolutely killer x86 and x64 interpreter, then the last Intel Macbook might be the last Macbook I buy.
There is just soooooooo much great software available for x86/x64 that is designed for traditional desktops and laptops that a switch away from x86/x64 would be giving up. Don't get me wrong, ARM is great but then might as well just have an iPad.
From the beginning, I thought Apple's ARM architecture was more for security than performance or compatibility?
