ARM Chief Architect Joins Apple: A Reliable Shift to Mac's ARM Chips

“

This is definitely a legendary figure.

”In recent months, rumors have increased regarding Apple’s plan to fully transition the Mac platform to ARM chips as early as 2020. Today, there are reports that the company has taken a significant step forward in achieving this goal.

ARM Chief Architect Joins Apple: A Reliable Shift to Mac's ARM ChipsAccording to reports, ARM’s Chief System Architect Mike Filippo joined Apple last month, working at the company’s R&D center in Austin, Texas. During his time at ARM (2009 – 2019), Filippo led the development of several ARM chips, including the Cortex-A76, Cortex-A72, Cortex-A57, and several upcoming 7nm+ and 5nm chips. Before joining ARM, Filippo served as Chief System Architect at Intel (2004 – 2009). Prior to Intel, he was a chip designer at AMD (1996 – 2004). It can be said that Filippo has extensive chip design experience, which will greatly assist Apple in developing its own ARM chips.ARM Chief Architect Joins Apple: A Reliable Shift to Mac's ARM Chips▲ Mike Filippo’s updated LinkedIn profileARM subsequently released a statement through Bloomberg confirming Filippo’s departure. The company stated, “Mike is an important member of the ARM community. We thank him for all his efforts and wish him continued success in his future endeavors.”Apple’s introduction of self-developed ARM chips for the Mac platform will help it break free from reliance on Intel, and the development of new Mac products will no longer be hindered by chip release schedules. Instead, Apple can leverage its advantages in hardware-software integration to flexibly adjust product designs. The chip strategy used in the iPhone and iPad is the best proof of this.Reports indicate that Apple has been preparing for this goal for years and is currently implementing it gradually. For example, at the recently concluded WWDC, Apple announced the Project Catalyst initiative (which facilitates developers in porting iOS applications to the Mac platform), which has also been interpreted as laying a solid foundation for this goal.
