![]() Apple also reportedly turned down the chance to buy ARM itself because ARM's open licensing model doesn't fit with Apple's business plan, which makes sense. It seems Apple is unlikely to be fazed by Nvidia's acquisition of ARM since Nvidia is a long term Apple partner. While the performance of mobile processors like Apple's A Series yields good performance for mobile devices powering devices like the iPad Pro, the jury is out on whether they really can power performance-orientated desktops and laptops. To ready itself for the transition - as well as work on its other chip-based technologies, Apple has been beefing up its in-house silicon design teams in recent years, not least in the UK. They'll use the ARM64 architecture instead of Intel's x86/64. Like other phone and tablet chips, these are based on the core designs of ARM (which we've now found out is being bought by Nvidia) and are mobile processors designed with power efficiency in mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() Apple macOS 11 Big Sur: All the key new Mac features explored.The move to Apple Silicon will enable other technologies we've seen on the iPad and iPhone to come to the Mac, including Face ID - although there's no sign of that as yet. As well as processing cores these also include other technologies such as a neural processor (NPU) and memory in one package.
