#Microsoft could be taking a cue from #Apple. A recent job listing (via HotHardware) for Microsoft’s #Surface division calls for a system-on-a-chip (SoC) architect, suggesting that Microsoft might be interested in developing its own #M1 competitor for future Surface devices. A job listing doesn’t confirm anything — it only vaguely hints at what Microsoft could be doing, so it shouldn’t be assumed that Microsoft is building an M1 competitor. It makes sense, though, especially considering Apple is expected to launch its #M1X chip next week, bolstering its advantage against the #Intel competition. More at the link in bio.
