Google is still snapping up Apple’s chip design talent as part of its ongoing quest to create custom processors. The search giant has now hired John Bruno, the designer who founded and ran Apple’s silicon competitive analysis group, the team that helped iPhone and iPad processors stay ahead of rivals.



Bruno’s exit comes shortly after a number of other chip engineers deserted both Apple and one of its main chip suppliers, San Diego-based Qualcomm, for Google in the last year. Apple defectors include Manu Gulati, Wonjae Choi and Tayo Fadelu. Engineers departing Qualcomm for Google include Mainak Biswas, Vinod Chamarty and Shamik Ganguly.
