@zimpenfish2022 · in “Why Apple Will Switch to ARM-Based Macs (2014)”
> This became an easy decision [in 2015] for Apple to ditch Intel when they saw how much better their own iPad Pro was relative to the 12” Intel MacBook. [1] implies that the M1 development started around 2008 - although you could also read it that the M1 was 5 years in development but that sounds a bit quick and also doesn't fit with [3] in 2014 - "Apple Testing ARM Based Mac Prototypes". But there doesn't seem to be any other direct corroboration of the 2008 date that I can find. [1] ▶ this video via [2] [2] link [3] link
