Apple once made PowerPC chips with Motorola, IBM, and others.
There is also a rumor of Apple using ARM chips with X86 codes or X86 emulation.
I'd like to see Apple make a version of a modern PowerPC CPU and use an ARM as a co-processor to run iOS stuff. Cut out Intel or do it via emulation like Rosetta did for PowerPC code.
