First virtual absolute Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) came with the usual series of ads largely predictable, such as updates to the iPhone and iPad operating systems, new features to his ear AirPod and more. But its most dramatic change was a decision to move from your Mac devices with Intel processors in favor of their power supply chips homemade, which is called “Apple silicon.”. The claims colossus of Cupertino, California technology the move will bring many advantages: you make your Mac faster, let them benefit from the latest machine learning technology of the company (for features such as augmented reality, editing, face detection and more) and easier to carry to make it to the developers of popular applications from the iPhone and the iPad on desktops and laptops. The transition to Apple’s silicon will take about two years to complete; Intel-powered Macs are still to come. silicon apple differs from Intel processors, which determines because of their architecture, such as a computer to perform tasks. Apple using ARM technology, which offers faster performance used with lower power consumption compared to the Intel (and its rival AMD). Generally, ARM processors are useful for devices such as mobile phones and tablet PCs (because ARM chips consume less battery power), while Intel and AMD chips have more sense for high-performance desktop and laptop computers made (where consumption battery is less problematic). While the move as a blow to Intel longtime Giant processor whose “Intel Inside” slogan was once ubiquitous in IT shops-the company has already clearly making chips for companies like Apple have gone instead to focus on hardware Vehicle autonomous AI analyzes and high-end high-margin processors for entertainment and PC games. “We recognize the challenges that lie these days in client companies possess, and while they are not everywhere, are certainly trying to get away from that to diversify,” says NPD Group analyst Stephen Baker. The Apple news, he says, “is not great, but in the long run I do not think that will have an incredible impact on Intel.” To be sure headwind, Intel agreed. It ‘still leads in market share, but has repeatedly ground in the consumer market month after month, rival AMD lost (share of the desktop market jump from 12% to 18% in the last two years of AMD, according to Mercury Research). Intel in the mobile world for wrestling ground of ARM processor-controlled sold in 2005, killed in 2018 a few experimental augmented reality glasses, and stopped last year Phone 5G 5G modem to focus on infrastructure. Perhaps the greatest battle of Intel and one of the reasons is conducive Apple lost an endless battle with the laws of physics. Processors are composed of billions of transistors to perform calculations on and off. The larger the transistor (measured in nanometers or “nm”) uses, more power. use of smaller transistors you can fit more of them on a processor, which means more computing power, but also a greater energy efficiency. Overall, the size of a processor transistors a good indicator of how powerful that processor will be. For most of modern history of computer chip manufacturers such as Intel they have been able to “Moore’s law” -an abandoned observation that the number of transistors on a single chip doubles about every two years adjust, mainly due technological improvements. But space is a finite thing, it’s getting harder and harder to stuff transistors on processors. For Intel processors today can 10 nm, but also that the success came after considerable delays, which has put behind the curve. In comparison, makes Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, developed by Apple’s mobile phone chips, they will be published small, efficient 7 nm processors for mobile devices. Intel’s delay in 10 nm processors to launch Apple’s decision has helped to go their own way. “Is to have its own microprocessor architecture, something they wanted, because Jobs was not, for sure, are not tied to an external partner,” says Jon Stokes, author of the book on the machine: An Illustrated Introduction to Microprocessors and computer architecture and co-founder of Ars Technica technology site. “I think the turning point was when Intel ARM started to reach in … Power and Intel in the processor stalled”. However, Intel is doing well when it comes to laptop computers to supply other companies, along with its other projects in AI and vehicle autonomous sensors. Its PC-centric companies has increased (for desktop processors and consumer notebooks provide) by 14% year on year in the first quarter of 2020, as people of new devices purchased works from home in COVID-19 was. But it was its data center in a sign of the development of the company, its powerful industry group revenue by 23% with year-on-year to an increase of cloud services. What should the Apple daily users make the switch to Intel? It can celebrate something at the end: Apple has a good track record in chip design features; the processor in the iPhone has surpassed Intel-powered notebook with specific tasks. In addition, the company is bringing on board in the early stages of the popular third-party developers such as Adobe process, which aims to ensure that Apple Silicon Power Mac a lot of useful software to have jump (made prevention a misstep Microsoft critical when ARM allow a transfer surfaces), which Macs with ARM armed immediately be compatible iPad Apps is another nice bonus with millions of existing iPhone. And if Apple Mac to iPhone-like baffles, it is not improbable features such as built-LTE wireless connectivity or 5G, Face ID and other goodies just for mobile Imagine coming to their desktops and laptops. All in all, Apple bet on yourself could be the best decision I made since the company, well, bet on Intel.
Apple ditching Intel could mean big changes ahead for Mac desktops and laptops
