Intel Corp (INTC.US) stock fell 4.0% after Bloomberg reportedthat Apple Inc (AAPL.US) plans to introduce a series of new Mac processors as early as 2021 with the goal of outperforming Intel's fastest processors. In November, Apple introduced a new line of Mac computers that run on chips made by Apple, instead of a traditional chip manufacturer such as Intel. Mac chips do not make a big contribution to Intel's revenue, but Apple's growing independence means an industry shift that could hurt Intel's personal computing business.
