If going from almost a standing start to fabing chips that compete on par with intel was that easy some one else (elon musk or china) would have done it already

I am sure major shareholders of apple will not want to bankroll a 7nm fab and the massive massive costs in producing a competitor to AMD and INTEL
- solarkraft 9y agoMate, AMD themselves are already fabless. Apple uses suppliers. Apple makes their mobile SoCs already. This is feasible.
- jsight 9y agoI completely agree with that. Actually building pro-quality chips that compete with top end Intel chips is really hard and is likely more of a bottleneck than 3rd party software. I really still have a lot of doubts about this idea that they will even try it. It doesn't seem that there is really anything in it for them in doing this.
