When in 2005 Apple finally abandoned the PowerPC processor platform and decided to replace them with Intel processors, many "veterans" considered it aonec classic Mac computers. Apple He had to abandon PowerPC processors due to their very high power consumption, which did not allow the processors to be used in current generation laptops. ProThere was also a problem with the production of processors and the company nestfailed to produce enough PowerPC chips. Since 2005, Macs have been powered exclusively by Intel processors. While over the past seven years, Apple he changed NVIDIA graphics cards to ATI several times and vice versa, of course the processors remained.
Immediately after what Apple introduced its latest processor Apple A6 a Apple A6X (compared to A6, it offers a quad-core graphics chip that is powerful enough for resolutions Retina on the 9,7″ iPad display), it was discovered that the company created these processors using its own architecture. Since then, there have been various speculations that it could Apple began producing its own processors for Mac computers. The latest such information was brought by the agency of one of the ten richest people in the world, the agency Bloomberg.
Company engineers Apple believes that the chips used in mobile devices with the operating system iOS will one day be powerful enough to be used in desktops and laptops. He told the agency Bloomberg whistleblower close to the company Apple, who requested anonymity. While it is obvious that Apple will not replace Intel processors in the near future, in the future the shift to own processors is inevitable, as well as the approximation of computer and mobile operating systems.
It is clear that basically all the big players like Microsoft, Apple and Google decided to unify the mobile operating system with the desktop version as much as possible. The first really big step, at least as far as the user interface is concerned, is of course Windows 8, which looks the same on all devices. However, what is more interesting than unifying the appearance of operating systems, which a large number of users do not agree with and fear, is the fact that Apple will become independent from all suppliers within a few years and will be able to manufacture computers from its own componeWe discuss building our own supplier network in detail in the article Apple would immediately lose $64 billion by transferring his $22,4 billion in foreign accounts to the US, so he probably invests it in his own supply network!
…it was already here and brought it Apple almost to bankruptcy – I remember how he sold his factories to produce scanners and other proprietary equipment.. But this time he is in a different position. Returning to this version of the solution is great, again he could do everything completely tailor-made and fully connected, which could get higher performance and efficiency on a simpler system than the competition.. iPad performance with iOS This is already clearly showing.. Let's hope that it will have more room to develop what was once a priority - functionality for users..
I strongly believe that as far as processors are concerned, sure. But I don't think they would make GPUs, first of all it's expensive and complicated, plus at this time we have 2 giants - AMD(ATI) and NVidia - dealing with GPUs. An option would be to buy out one of these companies and that would be outrageously expensive, but not as much as investing in the development of new HW from GPU...
To make it happenoneit wasn't like that Apple it also uses intel in its mobile devices. After all, the processor today is just one of many chips that will be integrated together as much as possible in the future Apple he developed all the chips himself, and Intel is the strongest partner.
Any intel should have been in the ipad packageoneHow did Steve distance himself from them?ancoval ..
Martin: Now we can say luckily… :)
I think this reasoning should be clarified. You most certainly won't Apple your computeronenty will not produce and certainly will not assemble finished products. That would be a fatal mistake. It will move towards broader development, that is, it will design more important components itself, however, it can be estimated that it will certainly not go further than the limits of CPU, GPU, or APU power processors with development and it certainly will not produce them itself. It will not produce its own displays, glass, chassis, wifi, bluetooth, GSM modules, disks, memories and a dozen other components. It is very advantageous to simply notchat produce in the required quantity, rather than desperately worrying about the utilization of production capacities, constant modernization of the production process, etc. for their own supplies. Just as a memory manufacturer nestIt is important to know whether the person who ordered and delivered them will also successfully and profitably sell them in their facilities. It is very advantageous to specialize in a specific production, to be the best at it and to offer your production capacities and products to anyone, rather than to produce everything from a screw to a box and then to worry about marketing the sales. It is enough if one cog in the whole gear, for example, nestIt's a problem and the entire chain is at risk, not to mention that in the event of any slowdown in any of the products, you can immediately close the production capacity. In the case of external supplies, I will just contact another proven supplier. The complex development and production of an IT product is completely inefficient nonsense these days.
Buying AMD or NVIDIA Applem is nonsense. Moreover, they are not the main players in the iPad field/iPhone. Apple successfully uses the most powerful PowerVR graphics chips from Imagination Technologies, which are currently on the smartphone mobile platformone/tablet most powerful and looking at the announced PowerVR news, it looks like it will be that way for a long time. NVIDIA's Tegra performsonem is not dazzling yet, and who else? AMD has nothing to offer in mobiles yet, but it is trying its best in the ARM field, investing here and concluding cooperation agreements on the ARM platform. In the future, it may surprise us with its own graphics on the ARM platform. And Intel? It has never produced a truly mobile, energy-efficient and yet powerful chip :-) Not to mention a powerful GPU.
I understand what the analysts are saying, it's their livelihood. But that's about it too. Analysts are there to make a business work, based on the emotions that create the analysis of such agencies. What are we going to lie to, right? Take a look at your business, there are a number of procedures that you'd rather hire rather than have to deal with all of them yourself. You will hire a high-quality graphic designer to create a website, to manage a webmaster's domain, when you write a book, you will hire a publisher and you will not start your own publishing house because of this, for which you will then have to look for contracts elsewhere to make it profitable and instead of proper and high-quality writing you will "do business" ” in the publishing house. Apple can't make glass better than a company that has been doing it for 100 years and thanks to deliveries all over the world, it has become a recognized and technologically outstanding supplier over a long period of time. Apple would have to buy such a company and then engage in the glass business, because no company that supplies componefor Apple, is not only fed by supplies for Apple. None. It won't delete the old valid rules either Apple: NOBODY CARRIES ALL EGGS IN ONE BASKET. Nowhere is this more extreme than in any business. Moreover, the final assembly itself is the least economically advantageous part of the chain. The most lucrative is the development, creation, design of the concept and subsequent sale of the finished product. But you yourself know best. I have no doubt that you are Apple he will design himself (but rather in some close cooperation with a specific specialist in that field) other new chips, or technologies for the displays of the future, technologies for processing new materials, etc., but he will never build a factory in the USA for the production of such products, and certainly not for final assembly. He wouldn't feed it. It would only create unnecessary black holes for the money it will earn elsewhere. And that's stupidity.
I want to write one more important thing. Money is not everything, not even the tens of billions of dollars at his disposal Apple. You can't make people come up with amazing things with money, you can't make them have great ideas, you can't use it to direct people into a particular creative mindset if they don't have it in themselves. With the constant expansion of technology in all directions, there is a huge demand for real visionaries, top engineers, scientists, creators, but also really extremely capable business people who know how to sell the subsequent "masterpiece". They say that nowadays the problem is not to make anything, but to SELL IT. The lack of really important creative people and very capable engineers is what every modern manufacturer is facing in a field that is vitally dependent on modern technologies. Companies drag experts between themselves, thereby harming themselves. When you take an expert to another company, you increase your own expenses for his "salary" (= increase in costs, you have to overpay him) and the other company loses an important worker (= reduction of production, deterioration of quality, innovation, etc.). As a result, both can lose. And I'm not talking about the fact that just being overpaid doesn't mean anything, because the engineer in question has to be gifted with the necessary enthusiasm, drive and interest to create for the new employer. And that cannot be ordered or induced by money. Necessary Visions will not create any money :-) Either they are or they are not. That's what I wanted to add to the hackneyed theory, right Apple he has enough money to accomplish ANYTHING. Money yes, but not the needy people.
Although Intel does not have a usable mobile platform, it is now its main priority and I think it won't be long before it will be the best.
if he should apple to manufacture and assemble in this way would go bankrupt - I mean in the USA - because the price of work there and in China is hugely different
I rather think that apple he will actually design the parts - eventually all of them, but they will be manufactured in foxcone further
