At the end of October last year, Apple held a closely watched "explosion" conference, released a new MacBook Pro, in addition to the controversial "Liu Haiping", the M1 Pro/Max chip with anti-heaven performance was favored by many users, and the previous partner Intel was further marginalized.
However, what is surprising is that according to the latest foreign media reports, Jeff Wilcox, Apple's Mac system architecture director, jumped to Intel, and he mainly assisted in the development of Apple chips when he was at Apple. 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 now it makes sense to return to Intel.
Wilcox helped Apple complete the chip transition task, helping the company build M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max SOCs systems.
It is worth noting that the 45W 12th generation Core H series mobile processors just released by Intel are extremely powerful, and the most powerful i9-12900HK has performance per watt and even crushes the M1 Max processor. Wilcox's job hopping is not known whether it was "summoned" by the 12th generation of Core.
