Intel Stock Surges as Apple Ends Mac Support for Intel Processors
Intel shares rallied over 8% on Tuesday despite reports confirming the end of MacOS support for Intel-powered Apple devices. The market''s bullish response suggests investors had already priced in Apple''s long-telegraphed transition to proprietary silicon.
MacOS Tahoe will mark the final operating system update compatible with Intel-based Macs, though these devices won''t support Apple''s new AI features. The phased five-year transition reflects Apple''s 2020 commitment to maintain Intel support during its processor migration.
