From Maximum PC: There's a rumor going around saying that Apple is looking long and hard at ARM's A-Series chipsets for use in future Mac releases. While it wouldn't be the end of the world for Intel to lose Apple as a client, especially coming fresh off its best year ever, Intel would certainly like to keep that relationship alive. And it probably will -- Intel CEO Brian Krzanich says the rumors of Apple switching to ARM are just that.
During an interview with CNBC (credit to The Inquirer for digging it up), he described Intel's relationship with Apple as being "strong," adding that "Apple is always going to choose the supplier who can provide the most amount of capability in innovation to build on. They're a company based on innovation."
The rumors of a switch to ARM began to swirl last week when KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested it was possible. However, it didn't faze Krzanich, who maintains that Intel needs to continue focusing on delivering parts that are better than its competitors.
