The designer of chips on the iPhone and the iPad will be AMD

Jim Keller, hitherto the chief operating officer of Apple's chip design, leaving the company to join AMD, which was already years ago. At Apple, Keller was primarily responsible for the A4 and A5 chips, main systems used in IOS devices, including iPhone and the iPad. So it's an important man in the company. Keller will join AMD as corporate vice president and chief architect of AMD microprocessors. Arik Hesseldahl reports from AllThingsD:

"Hiring is full of connotations: Keller's main job at Apple has been working on the A4 and A5 processors, which are inside the iPhone and the iPad. Remember that for a long time Apple used Samsung processors in the iPod and first iPhone. "

Keller joined Apple in 2008 and had to pay 278 million to acquire the company Keller, PA Semi. Interestingly, AMD chief Keller will be Mark Papermaster, Apple also left about 2 years ago. Keller's position in Apple was the senior vice president of engineering of the iPhone. In 2010 Apple Dobberpuhl Dan also lost another of its key executives in the area of the chip, whose company, Agnilux was later bought by Google. Dobberpuhl was the co-founder of PA Semi and Apple also reached through the acquisition of the company from Cupertino.

The main ideas of Keller are adopting some characteristics of the technology we see in mobile processors and bring them back to the PC.

Apple sure you hire someone talented and passionate to take over the chip design. This important change made ​​joins other recent months, including vice presidents and Johnson Bertran Serlet Rum. Others who joined Apple through acquisitions, as Andy Miller Quatrro Wireless (IAD) and Dag Kittlaus Siri also left the company, a retirement and others for business change.
