Apple has been developing its own processor technology in recent years, and mobile devices such as the iphone in recent generations are visible on a series of mobile processors, and the development of this proprietary chip has enabled Apple to abandon the technology of using the British graphics processor (GPU) IP industry Imagination Technologies. In this case, and in recent years, Apple's acquisition deal, whether Apple may be in the future to reduce the Intel and Qualcomm (Qualcomm) chip dependency, but even if the future Intel chip is really abandoned by Apple, Intel does not have to be too worried, The future may continue to fall as Apple chip revenues now account for less than Intel. According to Fubis (Forbes), Apple's collaboration with Intel is mainly related to the microprocessor and chipset of the Apple Mac business and the desktop PC (DT) product line, with the number of approximately 20 million PCs sold worldwide by Apple in 1 years. And Intel can estimate the average $160 PC processor revenue to Apple per PC, meaning Apple can contribute about $3.2 billion in revenue to Intel. But this revenue scale accounts for about 5% of Intel's full-year revenue, which means that even if Apple is really abandoning Intel chips in the future, Intel's worst loss is about 5% of its revenue scale, which is not too high for Intel's overall impact, and the future, as the global PC market continues to stagnate, Coupled with the expectation that Intel's other business division revenues will continue to grow, the 5% revenue share will likely continue to decline in the future, which is becoming less important to Intel's revenue contribution. It is worth noting that Apple should not be expected to abandon the use of Intel chips in the near future, even if it happened, it could be years later. So, instead of worrying about whether Apple will abandon its chips because of its continued growth in chip technology, Intel is worried about how to sustain its leadership in the Global data center chip market and how to compete with Nvidia's GPU in the Machine learning (ML) application. This means that Intel should focus entirely on how to create growth in the data center, mobile and Artificial intelligence (AI) areas, rather than worrying about whether Apple orders will fall. For Intel, the company has recognised the need to invest in the emerging AI market, such as Mobileye, which has previously completed the acquisition of Israel's self-driving technology industry, although a $15 billion takeover of a 2016 revenue of less than $400 million mobileye, seems counterintuitive in the acquisition price. However, from Intel's estimated $70 billion in business opportunities in the global self-driving system, data and services, it may be possible to buy the mobileye of these emerging-sector developments at a high price, that is, to look at future potential business mobility in these emerging areas. Even though Intel still has part of the company's loyal customer base, the future in the cloud, the AI market, still faces some of the company's not-so-loyal customer base, possibly turning to the NVIDIA GPU and AMD server processors, After all, the product lines of the two Intel rivals are also highly receptive to the cloud and AI markets. As a result, Intel does not have to worry about whether Apple is likely to drop a single issue, focusing on the competitiveness of its own chips in the emerging technology sector.
