American manufacturing giant, Apple, is getting set for another huge leap. According to recent reports, the company will terminate its cooperation with Intel and incorporate its own chip on upcoming Mac computers. The company has decided to say goodbye to the world's leading processor manufacturer after 14 years of cooperation. Apple does not easily change chip makers for its MacBooks. In the early 1990s, the company moved from Motorola processors to PowerPC. In 2005, it made another switch from PowerPC to Intel. The first set of Intel-powered Macs hit the market in January 2006.

At first, the Apple-Intel connection looked perfect, but over time, Intel did not have time to produce. Among other things, the arrival of ARM processor architect, Mike Filipp, at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino provoked passionate debate. Filipp worked at ARM for ten years, so his new engagement seemed like confirmation of the untying of the Apple-Intel bond.

At the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) on June 22, the company plans to announce that it is moving to its own Mac processors. iPhones and iPads already drive the units from their own workshop, so the transition to Macs and the replacement of Intel is actually a logical step. However, the timing of the announcement may change.

The likes of Microsoft, Samsung or Lenovo have been driving their laptops for some time on ARM chips. Apple's decision could provoke an uprising against Intel and other manufacturers.
