Last week Apple introduced a series of new MacBook laptops and a Mac Mini desktop computer, which runs on Apple's M1 chip. According to the developers, the new chips will be more efficient and less power-consuming.
Apple mobile devices already run on processors based on a similar architecture, which simplifies the integration of the company's desktop and mobile solutions.
The second important detail one should pay attention to is that the release of M1 processors puts an end to the 15-year cooperation between Apple and Intel. It will be a painful blow to the world’s top microprocessor manufacturer. However, experts are still arguing about the economic consequences of this step.
However, Apple announced this solution in advance. It aligns with the tech giant's development strategy: a decade earlier, the company refused to use chips manufactured by the Samsung company.
Will Apple's full transition to its own chipset strengthen the company's position? Let us recall that in addition to the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company's prospects might be seriously affected by the antitrust investigation by the US authorities. And finally, how will this break-up affect the Intel company?
