Apple Silicon Transition

The cluster focuses on Apple's development and shift to custom ARM-based Silicon chips like M-series, moving away from Intel processors, and debates on their superior efficiency compared to Intel/AMD chips.

Aren't Apple developing their own CPUs?

Isn’t this what Apple is doing with their M-chips?

Considering that Apple ditched Intel for their own Apple Silicon chips it makes more sense comparing them (for now).

Can someone explain the current and hypothesized future role of Intel, ARM and now Apple chips among Apple products?

Intel/AMD chips don't approach the efficiency of what Apple makes.

You want Apple to make their own CPUs?

It's solving apple having to rely on intel...

Apple already supports devices on different chips (Intel on laptops, ARM on iOS). There is nothing strange about them keeping laptops with different processors, depending on the intended use.

its all about architecture of chips . apple has technology to achieve it & that doesnt mean intel is not having thier technology to make it possible its all about company usp . if they will get their ROI then they will continue otherwisejust take an example if intel will make performance base chip same price as apple ? which one you will prefer ?

Did Apple acquire any company to build A- and M-chips?
