Microsoft would be manufacturing its own ARM processors following Apple's footsteps

A few weeks ago, Apple released both its ARM processors under the nomenclature Apple Silicon M1 , as well as the products with said processors inside, and although the support for ARM seemed doubtful at first, the companies have decided to strongly support them at the level of software.
This could have increased interest from Microsoft, who, according to Extreme Tech, you might be thinking of making your own ARM processors for Surface servers and tablets , so you wouldn’t depend on Qualcomm for them, unlike what we can see today with the Microsoft SQ1 and Microsoft SQ2 , which, although they already arrive with ARM architecture, is not a design Microsof’s own t.
According to rumors, Microsoft would be thinking of launching a server-oriented processor first before launching a product for the consumer space , so between this and the fact that it takes several years to create a new CPU core, hopefully we will not soon see an ARM processor created entirely by Microsoft.
We will have to see how it works Microsoft to create a new CPU core, because if it achieves similar success to Apple, we can expect a big change in the space of portable and low-power computers.
