This month we saw a wide range of products entering the market. As such, there was a lot of news to cover the latest technology. But what seems to have made a considerable impact on the tech world seems to be Apple’s latest M1 chipset and snapdragons new 888 processor. Not to mention the antitrust lawsuits against Facebook put forward by the Federal Trade Commission and 48 state attorneys general has shaken the entire silicon valley.
Apple’s AirPods Max is undeniably one of the costly sound solution available in the market. While Qualcomm’s new flagship processor, the Snapdragon 888, could very well push the potential of 5G. At the same time, Apple’s M1 processor is creating ripples in the semiconductor market.
“One of the great things about the M1, the way we look at it, we’re super happy with that announcement. Very happy. And kudos to Apple because it validates our belief. It validates our beliefs that you know, that the mobile user is defining what they expect out of the PC experience. And when adding Apple to that conversation, you started to see that the ecosystem is moving. Great example: I believe it was probably this week, if not the week before, that Adobe announced many applications that are all ARM native. And once you make it ARM native, performance increases as you now have app compatibility.”
The main issue is that though Apple’s M1chipsets are extremely well-performing, the company is still working on getting developers to port their software onto its new platform. Speaking of a new platform, Apple is reportedly working on making its cellular modem.
Overall, apart from Snapdragon 888 being launched by Qualcomm, I guess the crown of innovating and launching some serious products this month goes to Apple. However, it will be quite interesting to see how all these innovations produce results.
