Yeah AMD would have similar issues and results. Apple using its own was inevitable. As a geek I am excited. As someone who would never wittingly buy an apple product, I wish them luck because Intel is a POS company and getting away from them is a good thing.
Steve was still looking pretty heathy here. It's been so difficult watching Steve's health deplete over 7 years since his diagnosis, albeit fortunate that he was able to live so long despite being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We miss you Steve. RIP.
actually who knows they could have secretly collaborated a lot earlier; they did say that every version of mac os was also compiled for intel, which goes back to 2001..
@@poiiihy actually it had nothing to do with Mac OS and more to do with NeXTSTEP, especially since OpenStep came out which allowed the APIs to run on every system.
They were both having a good time with that...good fun. Plus Steve Jobs looked like he really liked that silicon wafer. Of course now they've got their own!
And I've got one. I ordered a new Macbook pro just a few days before the new line was released, and I got an email from Apple that basically said "Hey, since your new computer hasn't shipped yet, we're automatically upgrading you." Wonderful service, and a wonderful product.
Steve Jobs had for a mentor the co-founder of Intel, Robert Noyce, who also independently invented the integrated circuit. It was a fairly close friendship. Jobs really had the purpose of learning something from Noyce
Once Don Valentine founder of Sequoia said: I’ve met two visionary entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, the one was Bob (Robert) Noyce and Steve Jobs was the another.
I gotta say...PowerPC was powerful. IBM just fucked up really bad with the G5. Legit it was a really big power hog and couldn't clock at faster rates due to voltage limitations.
i dont get it, if IBM can made tri core and octa core cpu with hyper threading and with more than 3Ghz clock speed for xbox 360 and PS3, why they dont make it for apple too???? thats why apple move to intel!!!
@Voxnulla Well P.A. Semiconductor got a 2.1Ghz G5 dual core into a laptop using 14w. Core 2 Duo uses 10-11w(not a idle either of them). At idle C2D beats it with ease 3-4w. I mean by cutting stuff out I can get any IS onto any chip and get it into a laptop, but which one is going to run better?
One reason for the switch they were working on the iphone project and needed to divert engineering resources to it. The switch to Intel meant they no longer needed to make custom silicon for the Macintosh line. Now there's talk of moving the Mac to custom Arm based hardware so we would have come full circle.
Ah but Windows 10 is compiled to run on ARM and many windows apps now run on ARM processors as well. There are rumors of Microsoft making a compatibility mode for arm processors to be able to execute x86 apps. Frankly Apple's ARM processors are very powerful, capable, and could adds insane battery life.
Lolwut? PowerPC was made by Motorola and the problem with it was that Motorola SUCKED at keeping the arch relevant for modern personal computing. The switch to Intel was done to enable faster mobile computing which would have been impossible with PowerPC
connectorxp I question Apple's ability to make the A12X or any kind of successor much more effective than a good x86 device. Intel is not dumb or resource constrained. The only chance for Apple is to close their PC ecosystem more and more to make their hardware more effective. And we all know what that resulted in the early and mid nineties.
@Mishkafofer The AMD Phenom wafer has nearly 1300 processors, I think the Core 2 duo has 1132. Remember the NorthBridge Southbridge etc has to be added and a heatsink.
na they wont switch back but they could switch to something different... or maybe not since now that they're gonna make it all themselves so why would they ever switch to someone else... maybe they'd redesign their own processors tho (switch their own architecture or something)
@@MuhammadEhtasam you think Apple will switch back to intel if Steve was still alive? hell nah, even Steve wanted to make and design an own chip. the M chip is Steve’s dream from the start since he wanted to taking control over all of his products.
So long Apple - Intel partnership 2006 - 2020. Curious to know how the Apple-designed ARM-based processors will turn out to be. It's exciting for sure.
@WinRCx for the first question yes. and the second... only with a little bit of modification and a usb dongle (that has the appropriete cracked osx versioin.)
If you want a fast and customizable machine you have three options, Buy a current Mac Pro, wait for the new one (and buy the old one for less cash) or try building a Hackintosh. My brother (a PC user) did so and loved it so much he bought an iMac, then an iPhone, then an iPad... Hackintosh is THE gateway drug of choice. Good luck!
It's a silicon wafer. They start by making these large disks and map the mico-processors to the disk millions of times over. Then each chip is cut out of the wafer, and that's what gets put into your computer.
NonsensicalVids But Intel is falling behind in their roadmap. We’re still on 14nm and 10nm keeps getting delayed. Meanwhile, AMD is getting ready to launch 7nm next year. In fact, there are rumors that Apple is probably going to ditch Intel for their own custom-made processors to put in Macs in 2020.
it's a silicon wafer. that's how microprocessors are made. each processor are then cut (process called die saw), packaged and mounted on the PCB (motherboard).
@anthyman1 Well at the time it was true. In 1999 if you wanted a fast CPU you wanted a PowerPC 7400 or as Apple called it a G4. Unfortunately the Power PC series never kept up after that; they were constantly missing deadlines and power efficiency requirements. Switching to Intel CPUs just made a lot of sense by that time seeing a doubling of performance per watt numbers.
@Pierreax59 The A4 CPU is just a rebranded ARMv7 processor. In other words, the iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4 and iPad use the same processor as the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3, just a bit faster. Apple is hype, but it's great hype. I'm a Mac and I'm not switching back. I think I spent a good five percent of my life fixing PC errors, reinstalling and doing maintenance. Now it's time to have fun!
bouchandre: they are called wafers, and I supposed they are rounded because they sliced from a cilindrical ingot which I pressumed they are easier to handle if they got this shape
Both men are dead now for some years. I can still remember this moment as it was yesterday. What would they think of Apple’s decision to switch again, now from Intel to ARM ?
ARM only one part of the chip, it is Apples designed custom silicon. Intel exact same cpu they use in pc's and servers, only thing custom is binning. Apple can add in a far more powerful GPU core, A.I. acceleration, fast and slow cores. Whatever they want! Need extra instructions, no problem. DDR5 yeah no need to wait for intel. 5nm yup can do.
