Apple leads PC development so everyone must drop x86 and copy it

Apple’s former head of Mac development, Jean-Louis Gassée, has said that Apple’s decision to switch to ARM processors for Macs will make it inevitable that higher-end Windows PCs will have to do the same.

After all, are not Macs at the cutting edge of PC development and shown the way for PC makers with their cutting edge development? Oh that is right, Apple is about four years behind other PC makers and is not even the first to shift to ARM chips but…. nevertheless.

Gassée has not been with Apple for a while and left in 1990, he is famous for shelving the company’s plans to license macOS to other manufacturers because he believed the Macintosh was more powerful than any other computer at then, and had a superior architectural roadmap for future expansion than any other computer. He was later removed from Apple because he failed to come up with much new.

Writing in his bog, Gassée said that there was every reason to believe Apple’s claims that ARM processors will offer more power and greater battery life.
