Currently, the Intel Xeon is used in both high-end workstations and servers. If one x86 design can be suitable for both of those, presumably one ARM design could do the same.
If they could sell server CPUs at a profit, then Apple could get more return on its design investment by getting into two markets. And they'd get more volume. Though apparently they'd be facing competition from Ampere and Amazon's Graviton.
- why_only_15 6y agoI've wondered for a long time if it would make sense for Apple to sell the A13 etc. to smart home device makers, on the theory that Apple can offer great HomeKit integration as well as a superior chip to anything else on the market (for e.g. video processing).
