Apple's efforts to design its own graphics processing cores appear to have been ramped up with a pulse of hiring of people that had immediately previously worked for Imagination Technologies Group plc (Kings Langley, England), according to profiles on LinkedIn.
The pulse of hiring took place in the second-half of 2016 and on top of the engineers, notable departures from Imagination included the former chief operating officer John Metcalfe and the executive vice president for PowerVR engineering Martin Ashton although the latter went to Intel rather than Apple. PowerVR is Imagination's family of graphics processing units (GPUs).
