It has been more than seven years since Apple adopted Intel processors for use on their Macs, but this relationship may come to an end. According to rumors emerged yesterday morning, Apple is seriously considering starting to use ARM processors in their computers and laptops .
Sources close to the company say that several of the engineers are confident that the maker of chips that use the iPad, iPod and iPhone will also begin to create lines processors for Mac
But this is not just a change from one provider to another. It also means a complete change at the architectural level. One of the great benefits of the Intel x86 architecture is that Mac users can install Windows on another partition using Boot Camp. It may still be possible by installing Windows RT (known as Windows 8 for ARM), but application compatibility OS would not be the same.
However, this change is not imminent, and it seems that is just beginning to be considered to take place within a couple of years.
