1,000 Apple engineers are working on chip for the post-PC era. The idea is getting low power and smaller. Apple has started building it’s own design in 2009. The whole Apple stuff is 50,000 people, so only 5% are working on the new small and low power chip. It started designing its own chips because Intel and AMD were still stuck in the PC era. The latest A5 processor first appeared in the iPad 2. Now it is also in iPhone 4S. The latest device is now twice as fast as the previous one. Apple is also removing the hard drives from its products and replacing them with flash memory chips including MacBook Air’s storage. So Apple combined these two fundamental changes at the silicon level. So now you can put a computer everywhere.
