Intel has to surrender now

For the last few days the Tame Apple Press has been hyping Apple’s M1 custom chip beyond all reason, and today Bloomberg released an absolute cracker.

Bloomberg says that Apple is designing a new chip in 2021 which will outperform Intel’s fastest chip. Last we looked, Intel’s fastest chip was Intel Core i9-10980XE Extreme Edition Processor with 18 cores, 36 threads and 4.60 GHz Max Turbo Frequency. But such is the genius of Apple’s chip makers that they will overtake Intel as early as 2021.

The M1 chip is a mobile-centric design built around four high-performance processing cores to accelerate tasks like video editing and four power-saving cores that can handle less intensive jobs like web browsing.

The newspaper said that Apple’s superior chip team is working on several successors to the M1 custom chip, Apple’s first Mac main processor that debuted in November. If they live up to expectations, they will significantly outpace the performance of the latest machines running Intel chips, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the plans aren’t yet public.

What is even funnier is that Wall Street actually believed them. Intel’s shares slid 2.9 percent in New York Monday after the news. Apple shares were up 1.3 percent at 9:46 am. All Apple had to do was produce a fairly average laptop chip and hype the **** out of it.
