Apple has just lost an important employee, who worked extensively on the development of the M1 chip and, more generally, on the transition from Intel SoCs to ARM SoCs. Just that. Jeff Wilcox announced on LinkedIn that he was leaving the Apple adventure to join the competition,Intel.
Back to basics for Jeff Wilcox
A few years ago, Apple took on a huge challenge: that of doing without Intel and developing its own chips and processors withApple Silicon. It was not a cakewalk, nor without difficulty, but Tim Cook's firm finally succeeded in its bet. As we arrive at the end of the two years of transition that the Apple brand had set itself, one of the big names inM1 chips'en va.
Indeed, two weeks ago, Jeff Wilcox announced his departure after eight years at Apple where he was responsible for Mac architecture but also, and above all, for the transition from Intel SoCs to ARM SoCs. A hell of a mission! Despite everything, Intel managed to recover this tenor.
Yes, before joining the Apple team, Wilcox already worked for Intel. After an eight-year break, the giant managed to bring him back. In any case, that’s what he announced on his LinkedIn page yesterday. And this, despite the implementation of a bonus of 180,000 dollars from Apple to keep its engineers.
Now, we mainly have to know who will take over from Jeff Wilcox at Apple. For the moment, the mystery remains.
