Apple Mac processor history

Prior to Intel, Apple’s line of Mac products used PowerPC microprocessors, with the transition to Intel x86 architecture first acknowledged in 2005. The first generation of Intel-based Mac computers were released in January 2006, a partnership that continued through until 2020 where Apple announced it will begin switching the Mac line from Intel CPUs to Arm-based processors. Arm, also recognized in the industry as ARM, is a semiconductor and software design which was acquired by the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group in 2016. It is best known for its computer processor architecture which it develops and licenses to other companies, who then use the design to create processors.
