Apple is moving on from Intel because Intel isn’t moving anywhere
A report from Bloomberg this week has made public something that should already have been apparent to tech industry observers: Apple is planning to replace Intel processors in Mac computers with its own chips starting sometime around 2020. The two California companies have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership ever since Apple made the switch to Intel CPUs with the 2006 MacBook Pro and iMac, but recent trends have made the breakup between them inevitable.

Intel Corp. May Be Entering the Smartphone, Tablet and Wearable Chip Markets
Chip giant Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) currently dominates the market for processors that go into notebook and desktop computers, but its last attempt to become a key vendor of applications processors for smartphones and tablets failed miserably. Intel also tried to enter the wearable computing market by buying smartwatch maker Basis, but that didn't seem to end well, either, as the company laid off most of the members of its wearable computing group.

Intel Core i9-9900K 9th Gen CPU Review: Fastest Gaming Processor Ever
Although Intel added more cores to its previous-gen Coffee Lake processors in an effort to keep up with AMD's Ryzen CPUs, struggles with its 10nm node obviously delayed a more significant response. The company's ninth-generation Core processors, otherwise known as the Coffee Lake refresh, represent another step forward in a contentious battle for desktop supremacy.

Intel says its 5G modems won’t be ready until 2020, aligning with Apple’s rumored 5G iPhone roadmap
Several reports have suggested that the iPhone won’t feature support for true 5G until 2020, and now Intel itself has addressed those concerns. As reported by Reuters, Intel executives have said they don’t expect 5G modem chips to be ready for consumer phones until 2020. Sandra Rivera, head of Intel’s networking chip business, said at an event this week that 5G modems won’t appear in consumer “products in the market” until 2020. This suggests that while Intel might have the technology ready at some point this year, it won’t be early enough for its 5G modems to appear in 2019 phones.

Intel says Apple and Qualcomm’s surprise settlement pushed it to exit mobile 5G
Intel has clarified that it bowed out of the mobile 5G marketplace earlier this month, and now we know why: according to CEO Bob Swan, the company had concluded that there just wasn’t money in the business after Apple and Qualcomm settled their ongoing dispute — a settlement which meant Qualcomm would provide modems to Apple once again. “In light of the announcement of Apple and Qualcomm, we assessed the prospects for us to make money while delivering this technology for smartphones and concluded at the time that we just didn’t see a path,” commented Swan in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Intel teases “nearly double” gaming performance with Ice Lake over last gen
It’s finally happening, folks. Intel is absolutely, 100% leaving the long-toothed 14nm process node for greener, or rather denser, pastures. Intel has arrived at Computex full of gusto and has previewed its mobile Ice Lake processors ahead of its keynote on May 28 at Computex, which I’m sure has nothing to do with AMD’s upcoming Computex keynote.
