The software giant hired chip industry veteran Mike Filippo<\/a>, who worked for Apple for over two years, the report said.
Microsoft is working on in-house processors for the servers running its cloud-computing services and Surface line of personal computers, a source told Reuters in December 2020.
The cloud computing heavy-weight relies heavily on Intel<\/a> and Advanced Micro Devices Inc<\/a> to supply chips for its Azure cloud computing services as well as Surface PCs.
The move to hire Filippo implies that Microsoft is accelerating a push to create homegrown chips for its servers powering Azure cloud computing services, the report added.
Filippo, who started his career as a CPU designer at chip designer AMD in 1996, has previously worked at Intel and UK-based ARM Ltd<\/a> before joining Apple, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Microsoft and Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
