Preliminary reviews of the new Apple BBQ Air M1, the MBK Book Pro M1 and the Apple Pull silicon chip that power the Mini Mini are shining, and it seems that Apple Pull is not the only company to adopt ARM based chips. According to Bloomberg Sources said that Microsoft is currently exploring the possibility of making its own chips, which could leave Intel in the cold.
While the report emphasizes that the main focus of any new chips will be to power the Micro .ft Azure cloud platform, a site source added that it is possible that this could lead to a first-party ARM chip for surface products. This is known in part as the “second chip”, so it doesn’t sound like a one-size-fits-all processor.
As you might expect, Micro .ft did not confirm the existence of the project when contacted for comment. “As a foundation building block for silicon technology, we continue to invest in our own capabilities in areas such as design, manufacturing and tools, while promoting and strengthening partnerships with a wide range of chip providers,” said Frank Shaw of MicroSt. Also, “said Frank Shaw of Micros .ft.
Despite the approval of partnerships with third parties, this is undeniably bad news for Intel, which at the moment offers most processors for Azure cloud services, as well as chips for most Surface series (Microsoft introduced Raisen-powered Surface laptops last year. Intel’s stock closed down 6.3%, thanks in part to the leak.
ARM powered surfaces can take one of two paths. On the one hand, the new Apple Pul M1M B Kabuk has been a revelation, offering impressive power and stronger battery life than older Intel models. And while benchmarks suggest that Windows 10 also performs well on Apple’s hardware, there’s no way for customers to see themselves easily due to licensing issues.
The Apple Pal’s Surface Pro X is powered by an ARM chip with the SQ2, co-developed by Micro .ft and Qualcomm, but its performance and battery life lags behind the latest laptops with the Apple Pul Silicon. So now it may be time for MicroSt to take matters into its own hands.
