Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, recently sat with Axios on HBO. In the new episode, the senior official and Axios Chief Technology Correspondent Ina Fried to discuss various topics, which included the shift of Apple to its custom designed silicon for its Mac lineup.
During the new Axios episode, the executive was asked if the company has given up on the idea of Apple Macs using the Intel processors in the future. Gelsinger stated that he hopes to win back the Cupertino based giant by outcompeting Apple in this segment with its own chips over time. In the interview, he further added that the chipmaker had stumbled in the past and will “fight hard” to win back Apple’s business by producing better chips than Apple. For those unaware, Apple had announced its shift away from Intel chips in favor of its own custom silicon for its Mac lineup.
The CEO stated that “Apple decided they could do a better chip themselves than we could. And, you know, they did a pretty good job. So what I have to do is create a better chip than they can do themselves. I would hope to win back this piece of their business, as well as many other pieces of business, over time. And in the meantime, I got to make sure that our products are better than theirs, that my ecosystem is more open and vibrant than theirs, and we create more compelling reason for developers and users to land on Intel-based products.”
