In this special episode of Power On, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman sits down with Gerard Williams III, the former Apple chief CPU architect who helped develop the company’s groundbreaking A7 and M1 processors before founding Nuvia, which was acquired by Qualcomm. Williams reflects on his time at Apple, working alongside Johny Srouji and John Ternus, and why he left to pursue opportunities in the chip industry. He also discusses his latest startup, Nuvacore, which is developing high-performance processors for AI data centers, and explains why CPUs remain essential even as Nvidia’s GPUs dominate the conversation.
