Just after Intel poached its chip director, Apple's technical expert left for Microsoft again to develop server chips

Apple's chip design has reached its peak in recent years. Its high-performance processors have broken through the boundaries of x86. Apple's chip talents have also become popular among major companies. The chip design director was poached by Intel a few days ago, and now another chip expert, Mike Filippo, has been poached by Microsoft.

It is reported that Mike Filippo has joined Apple for more than two years. He is an experienced semiconductor designer who previously worked at ARM and Intel. He has now joined Microsoft and joined Microsoft's cloud computing division Azure, mainly engaged in processor research and development.

The department he works for is led by Rani Borkar, and Microsoft is clearly following the path of competitors such as Amazon and Google and preparing to develop its own custom server chips, an area in which Apple designers have extensive experience.

Prior to this, Jeff Wilcox, director of Apple's Mac system architecture, jumped to Intel, where he mainly assisted in the development of Apple chips. In the future, Wilcox will help Intel develop SoCs.

Wilcox helped Apple complete the chip transition task and helped the company build the M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max SOCs systems. Apple's accelerated efforts to develop chips have put pressure on Intel, which is also developing products that can compete with Apple chips.
