APPLE MAY REFUSE TO INTEL PROCESSOR
Allegedly, Apple is considering ways of eliminating the use of Intel processors in their personal computers. Their place will be taken processors on the architecture of ARM, such as those currently used in smartphones and tablets iPhone iPad. This was reported by a source with reference to anonymous informants familiar with the situation.
According to experts of Apple, the mobile processors may one day become productive enough to meet the requirements of processors for desktop PCs and laptops.
There are several arguments in favor of switching to the architecture of ARM: in particular, those with lower power processors can provide laptops longer battery life; unifies the development, improve the possibility of transferring the software and the interaction between mobile devices and personal computers.
Apple is no stranger to make radical changes to the architecture of its computers. Recall now Apple uses in desktop and mobile processors Intel, but it was not always so. On the transition to Intel was announced in 2005.
Prior to that served as the basis of personal computers processors PowerPC, jointly created by Apple, IBM and Motorola, and even earlier - the Motorola 68000 series.
At a time when Apple refused to processors PowerPC, releasing them from IBM and Freescale did not notice the loss of the customer - so small was Apple#39;s share in the total volume of product orders. Information on how to react to the new Apple shift its current provider, not yet, but this is unlikely to please the news of Intel, the already-sensing the hard way the first signs of decline of the PC era. However, to clarify once again - as long as it is only about the informal information.
