Apple seems to be doing very well with Intel processors in its MacBook range . But arecently published academic paperreveals that Apple was , at one point , attempting to port its operating arrangement to bring with ARM processors .
In fact , a former Apple intern , Tristan Schaap , who now serve as a Core OS applied scientist at the company , has explained how he was working on a project to get Mac OS X Snow Leopard working on ARM devices , reports Apple Insider . presumptively this project was a speculative investigation into Apple move to ARM processors in its MacBook reach .
The secret projection became less hole-and-corner when it waspublished by the Netherland ’s Delft University of Technology . Apparently Schaap write up a Bachelor thesis on his 12 week Apple internship in 2010 , but the inquiry has been embargoed . How did he get on ? ostensibly during the course of the task , he managed to get gadget “ booting into a multi - user command prompt , ” though some result still remained due to a “ poor implementation on the debug computer hardware . ”
What are the chance of this being tangible and relevant ? Well , we know that Apple sometimestests its engineers out on fake projects to check that it can trust them , so it could be a pure dummy project . Or , equally likely , Apple was groovy to sympathize more about the ARM architecture for use of goods and services in laptop .

Either style , I suspect a shift to ARM in Apple ’s MacBooks is unlikely any time before long . [ Apple InsiderImage : Travis Isaacs ]
