Intel's dismal outlook and mass lay-offs prove Apple was way ahead of the curve ditching its chip

Unless you've well and truly been living under a rock for the past better half of a decade, you'll know that Apple took the decision to ditch Intel from the Mac lineup and design its own chips instead. Dubbed Apple silicon, but more commonly known as M-series chips, these processors have made the best Macs faster, quieter, more powerful, and more efficient than ever.

And it looks like Apple was ahead of the curve in jumping ship from Intel, after the company unfortunately shared news of mass lay-offs. Around 15,000 employees will be laid off, and the company will have to cut $10 billion in costs, after some pretty heavy losses. It gives Intel a pretty bleak outlook for the future.
