As you probably already know, Apple released some new Mac computers some time ago with the M1 chip, which is the same as the new iPad Pro. it is a processor based on the ARM architecture, which allows to go much further than the classic Intel or AMD processors used until now in most computers. Thanks to said processor, and to the detriment of the arrival of the next version, it looks like Apple has some competition in this sector.
And that’s it, Qualcomm’s new CEO assured that they are preparing a new processor that will beat the M1 chip from Apple, also based on ARM, all thanks to the former Apple engineers who joined this company.
Qualcomm CEO says new processor will outperform Apple’s M1 chip
As we mentioned, in this case, it seems that in an interview for the Reuters newspaper, the new CEO of Qualcomm, Cristiano Amon, indicated that They are preparing a new processor also based on the ARM architecture, which will be able to surpass the M1 chip in power and performance. of Apple.
To achieve this, it is curious that are based on engineers who were former Apple employees and who, for various reasons, ended up joining Qualcomm’s staff. In this way, Qualcomm would consider itself a good alternative for other companies with their processors:
“The old processor vendors Intel and AMD don’t have chips as energy efficient as Apple’s. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon told Reuters on Thursday that he believes his company could have the best chip in the market, with the help of a team of engineers who previously worked on Apple’s chip but who now work at Qualcomm.
In this way, while it is true that Apple will not use these processors, it is quite clear that the M1 chip was only the beginning of the Apple Silicon company, can be a great way to route other operating systems to ARM architecture, because after all, Linux is already compatible with it, and there are fewer and fewer systems to join.
