Intel is Worried That Apple May Be Considering the Switch to ARM for MacBooks

Intel is worried that Apple may be considering the switch to ARM processors for its future MacBook computers, reveals CNET.

Speaking with Greg Welch, director of Intel's Ultrabook group, CNET asks him about the possibility of Apple using ARM for its upcoming laptops.

What about the threat of ARM and Apple's potential use of its A series of ARM processors in future MacBooks?

A report from May revealed that Apple has been testing an A5 MacBook and another report says Apple will make the move in 2013.
