Intel in the mobile era of decline probably will not affect Apple

See it currently the most popular mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPad, Samsung Android phone, as well as the Amazon Fire, you will find they all have one thing in common: they do not use Intel chips. You might wonder why Intel has missed such a huge change? But in fact, it is missed. Now, it is catching up, trying to be able to regain lost ground. However, Intel's current predicament Apple placed in a very special position. While the company sells most products now using its own chip design, but it still has a long history of product still using Intel chips: Mac computers. Eliminate over-reliance To be fair, Apple has a certain over-reliance on external companies. In 2005, that is, 10 years ago, Apple made an eye-popping decision: it announced that it would change its Mac computer chips to Intel chips, and give it from the mid-1990s has been the use of IBM PowerPC chips. For long-term users of Mac computers (including me), this is a very shocking news. These users find themselves in a very awkward position: on the one hand the performance of Intel chips to give people the impression of getting better, PowerPC chip on the other hand they have to defend the performance is not how the color. Suddenly, we have to accept the Intel. However, Apple's switch to Intel chips is the most interesting thing: Back in Apple switching to Intel chips before a few years, from the OS X operating system appears, Apple has been developing an operating system that can run on Intel chips. From a technical point of view, Apple's switch to Intel chips naturally have a lot of good reasons. However, I believe it is an important reason for this is that strategic considerations: a long time, Apple has always insisted on their own to build their own comprehensive hardware, software and services, therefore, for it is over-dependent on any one company It would be dangerous. Developers can run on Intel OS X operating system for the IBM company can eliminate dependence, thus avoiding their fate tied with others. Intel or out Now Intel can say precarious situation. Apple may continue with its overly dependent on one company's strategy because the strategy was to help smooth the transition to Apple's Intel chip. The only question is who is going to find an alternative to the Apple Intel? In the PC computer chip industry, Intel's main competitor is AMD, the two companies are using the x86 chip architecture. Apple has used AMD's Radeon graphics processors on some Mac computers, it's relationship with AMD has been in existence. But the question is, AMD is much smaller than Intel, it does not have the capacity to produce apples needed so many chips. Although AMD chips in performance roughly comparable to Intel, but now it seems to be more focus put on the market in the graphics chip. And now in addition to Mac, PC sales in the overall PC market in decline. That was not to say sales of Mac computers will soon be down, but we must recognize that changing consumer technology industry, Apple can not fail to take this into account.

Apple most likely approach is: it will buy the chip supplier. Apple has just launched the iPhone, it's ready to use Samsung ARM chip. Later, Apple acquired chip companies P.A. Semi, then from the iPhone 4 since Apple began using its own improved through the ARM chip. Apple's Mac computers will be replaced once every ten years about the chip. In using the PowerPC chip previous decade, Apple Mac computers have been exclusive to run on Motorola's 68k chips. Now, almost safe to say that Apple may already have a Mac computer prototype is running on the ARM chip. Apple today than a decade ago and more powerful. Therefore, we believe that, even if unable to supply it needs Intel chips, Apple will not be taken unawares. Apple has experienced a lot of changes, so it will not be an over-reliance on an outside company. However, this does not mean switching to chip is a very easy thing. Support for mobile devices is not necessarily the chip you want to run on a PC computer chip. They certainly can not provide high-end iMac or Mac Pro computer horsepower needed. However, with demand increasing reliance on mobile computing devices, more and more consumers outside the desktop (or laptop) to meet their computing needs to find a solution. As new MacBook shown that people would rather sacrifice performance in exchange for smaller, more portable devices. Finally, for Mac computers, the good news is after 30 years of development, its growth momentum remains strong. No matter what it was inside the chip, we in the next five to ten years will still buy it. Because we know that no matter how chips change, Mac computers are still a Mac.
