Google is taking over specialized employees from Apple to produce its own processors

In the technology industry, employee transitions from one company to another are commonplace. If you are the party that benefits in this way, then you definitely don't mind. If, on the other hand, you're losing because a competitor is luring you your high-ranking employees, you won't be too happy about it. And that's exactly what's been happening at Apple in recent weeks. It is losing highly specialized employees who are involved in the development of Apple's own processors. Their new workplace is at Google, which has decided that they will be implemented in this industry as well. And Apple is bleeding quite noticeably.

Google has been trying to strengthen its development division for its own hardware for some time now. They are primarily interested in designing their own processors, exactly as Apple has been doing for years. According to foreign sources, Google managed to drag, for example, a highly respected chip designer and engineer, John Bruno.

He led the development section at Apple, which focused on making the chips they developed sufficiently powerful and competitive with other processors in the industry. His previous experience is also from AMD, where he led the development section for the Fusion program.

He confirmed the change of employer on LinkedIn. According to the information here, he is now working as a System Architect for Google, where he has been working since November. He left Apple after more than five years. He is far from the first to leave Apple. During the year, for example, Manu Gulati, who participated in the development of Ax processors for eight years, moved to Google. Other employees involved in internal hardware development left Apple in the fall.

It can be expected that Apple will be able to replace these losses and practically nothing will change for end users. On the contrary, Google could benefit a lot from these rumors. They are rumored to want custom processors for their Pixel series smartphones. If Google could manage to make its own hardware on top of its own software (which is what the Pixel smartphones are all about), the future could be even better phones than they already are.
