Earlier this week, the CEO of Qualcomm has assured that by the end of 2023 they will launch their ARM processor for personal computers capable of overshadowing the current Apple M1. A declaration of intentions.
And in Cupertino they have broken the box of laughter. Simply because for those dates, they will already have the M3 series of Apple processors. With an operating system like the current macOS, very proven, solid, reliable, and backed by a huge catalog of third-party software adapted to the ARM architecture of Apple's M-series processors.
A few months ago, Qualcomm announced its project to build a next-generation ARM-based system on chips (SoC), designed to rival Apple's M-series processors. These processors will be designed to set a new benchmark for performance in computers based on Windows.
These new processors are being developed by the team at Bride, owned by Qualcomm. He wants them to compete directly with Apple's current M-series chips, the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max, and hopes to lead the PC processor industry.
Just this week, the president and CEO of Qualcomm, Christian Ammon, has ensured that the Nuvia team was making progress in the development of its future ARM processors. Amon added that the first Nuvia ARM-designed processor for Windows notebooks will be available end of 2023.
Qualcomm has taken control of Nuvia, a processor startup founded by former Apple chip designers, for 1.400 million in January of last year. Former Apple engineers wanted to create their own ARM processors for servers. Now his idea is to tackle the market for desktop PCs and laptops.
Meanwhile, in Cupertino they plan to launch devices equipped with the M2 series on the market this year, and it may be that by the end of 2023, they will even have the first of the next one ready. M3 series.
