Last week Apple introduced a series of new MacBook laptops and a Mac Mini desktop computer, which runs on Apple's M1 chip. According to the developers, the new chips will be more efficient and less power-consuming.
Apple mobile devices already run on processors based on a similar architecture, which simplifies the integration of the company's desktop and mobile solutions.
The second important detail one should pay attention to is that the release of M1 processors puts an end to the 15-year cooperation between Apple and Intel. It will be a painful blow to the world’s top microprocessor manufacturer. However, experts are still arguing about the economic consequences of this step.
However, Apple announced this solution in advance. It aligns with the tech giant's development strategy: a decade earlier, the company refused to use chips manufactured by the Samsung company.
Will Apple's full transition to its own chipset strengthen the company's position? Let us recall that in addition to the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company's prospects might be seriously affected by the antitrust investigation by the US authorities. And finally, how will this break-up affect the Intel company?

Spread your risk Holding a portfolio of investments with a low level of correlation can help to diversify the perils associated with investing in individual assets and markets, as well as less visible hazards such as inflation risk, the possibility that the value of assets will be adversely affected by an increase in the rate of inflation. Shares, bonds, property and cash react differently in varying conditions and opting for more than one asset class can help to ensure your investments won’t all rise or fall in value at the same time. Geographical exposure and long-term investing are other ways of spreading risk. Investing in vehicles such as OEICs can also remove a lot of the difficulty associated with managing a broad portfolio. Above all, investors should aim for a level of risk they are comfortable with, and that reflects their investment objectives.
