Earlier today, foreign media reported that Apple will completely abandon Intel processors in 2020. This is simply unacceptable to the latter.
In accordance with the budget of the industry chain, Apple's annual subscription revenue accounts for about 5% of Intel's total annual revenue, which is actually not too large, but it is really fatal, because other computer manufacturers began to produce their own components and no longer use Intel's production.
More importantly, Apple’s influence in today’s industry, if they really use their own processors on a Mac, is enough to convince users and the market that suppliers such as TSMC and Samsung make processors and produce a little chip. Not worse than Intel's.
In addition to the hardware support, Apple will also start with software. In order to make the Mac work more like the iPhone and iPad, Apple is developing a new software platform, internally codenamed 'Marzipan', which allows users to iPhone and iPad apps are running on Mac. According to Bloomberg, the software platform will be released this year.
It is clear that this news is detrimental to Intel. Intel’s share price once plunged 9.2% on Monday, the largest intraday drop in more than two years.
