Could Apple switch its Mac range from Intel to ARM by October 2014?

Apple may decide to institute its third architecture switch in a decade, returning to its RISC roots by ditching Intel’s x86 for ARM’s architecture – ironically, a company that it co-founded.

Rumours about Apple dumping Intel first surfaced two years ago, but when Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the company is exploring ways to replace Intel processors with a more powerful version of the Ax series that powers the iPhone and the iPad, it confirmed our belief that Intel could very well be on its way out.
