Microsoft is reportedly designing its own ARM-based chips for Surface PCs.

 

Microsoft is reportedly working on an in-house design for ARM-based chips that power servers and Surface PCs. The move would be another blow to Intel, whose dominance continues until then point is largely unchallenged.

 According to Bloomberg, Microsoft's efforts could lead to custom chips for servers running its cloud services, as well as chips for Surface devices. However, the Redmond-based company may focus primarily on developing a separate chip and then exploring the possibility of creating something for a future surface product. 

“Since silicon is a fundamental building block of technology, we continue to invest in our own capabilities in areas such as design, manufacture and tooling, and encourage and strengthen partnerships with a wide range of chip vendors, ”a Microsoft spokesman said in a statement to Bloomberg. 

 Intel essentially has a monopoly in the multiple chip market, of the most drives on the internet; It is the company's most profitable source of income. Intel's dominance in the sever market is estimated at around 90% . If Microsoft were to pursue its own chip design for a Surface PC, it would be following in Apple's footsteps. 

The recently introduced company Cupertino The MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro with M1 drive and therefore, to be fair, the processor has received rave reviews. The early feedback was generally positive. Many users praised the chip's performance and efficiency, and Apple has already announced that at some point it will move its entire line of products to custom ARM-based chips.

Microsoft has previously worked with AMD and Qualcomm for custom chips that were included in the Surface Laptop 3 and Surface Pro X. The company created an ARM-based SQ1 processor for the Surface Pro X in 2019, followed by an improved SQ2 variant in October however. , 

the SQ1 and SQ2 processors were little more than rebranding of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx gen 1 and gen 2 computing platforms. There have been signs that Microsoft wants to ease its dependence on Intel, and today's report suggests that the company is ready to continue exploring other opportunities.
