Apple was Intel's flagship customer for laptop PC chips. It doesn't seem surprising that Apple would hire someone from Intel's PC chipset design to lead their own effort to replace it.
- masklinn 5y ago> Apple was Intel's flagship customer for laptop PC chips. It doesn't seem surprising that Apple would hire someone from Intel's PC chipset design to lead their own effort to replace it. You've magnificently missed the point of my comment. And then, of course, for most of the relationship Apple was quite unhappy with what Intel provided, ultimately deciding to take the matter into their own hands.
- tcmart14 5y agoI think your last point is true, but not 100%. Apple for sure was unhappy with Intel. But I also think bringing the computer more in line with their line up of phones and iPads also plays a role that it divorced from Intel. Apple, since the first iPhone, has been on a slow march to convergence. Everything on Arm is a major step towards convergence.
