Today it became known that Apple was able to attract one of the former employees of ARM – Mike Filippo. In Cupertino, he is expected to oversee the new Apple processors. And there is a possibility that it is not only about mobile chips.
During his career, Mike Filippo has worked in almost all major companies associated with processors. Prior to ARM, he worked for AMD and Intel. And at ARM Filippo was developing Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A72, and he had his hand in the as-yet-unreleased novelties, which are known by the code names Hercules and zeus.
At the moment it is unknown what exactly Mike Filippo will do at Apple. Some believe that the Coopertinos hired a processor specialist primarily to release a MacBook based on an ARM-architecture chip. Rumors about such a device have been going on the network for years. According to the latest data, Apple can release a laptop with a mobile processor as early as next year.
It is also possible that Mike Filippo will help the apple giant in the development of mobile chips.
