January 7 news, according to the latest foreign media reports, Apple Mac system architecture director Jeff Wilcox (Jeff Wilcox) jumped to Intel, when he was at Apple, he mainly assisted in the development of Apple chips. In the future, Wilcox will help Intel develop SoCs.

For the past 8 years, Wilcox has been a major player in apple desktop and notebook product development. Wilcox was an Intel employee before joining Apple, and it's easy to understand now that he's back to Intel.

Wilcox helped Apple with chip transition tasks, helping the company build M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max SoCs and systems. Apple's efforts to develop chips have put Pressure on Intel, and Intel is also developing products that can compete with Apple's chips.

Wilcox wrote on its LinkedIn: "After a wonderful 8 years, I decided to leave Apple and seek another opportunity... I'm incredibly proud of all the results apple has achieved over the years, and the best of all is the transition to Apple Silicon through the launch of the M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max SoCs and systems. I will miss all my Apple colleagues and friends very much. ”

Apple's next director of Mac system architecture is still unknown, and it is not known whether Apple will comfort Wilcox. However, Apple has recently issued huge bonuses on a large scale to retain talent, and the amount of dividends is between $50,000 and $180,000.

Wall Street analysts said that in the past 2 years, Apple's Apple Silicon team has successively left some engineers, and it remains to be seen whether the departure of these people will have an impact on the progress of Apple's chips. However, under the leadership of Johny Srouji, senior vice president of Apple's hardware division, Apple's chip team has proven to be capable, and Apple is expected to continue apple Silicon's transition this year, launching Mac computers with M2 chips.
