So by Mega-core-count I mean more than 10 and I'm including their big.little architecture (so maybe 6+ high performance, 8 efficiency, remember that Apple can use all cores grouped however, asymmetrical). The chip design and margin advantages here are massive. Apple sell's phones at $399 with the A13 (7nm) that outperforms (by any metric we currently have), some of Intels > $300 notebook processors, building using iPhone cores as a base means your margins are subsidized by one of the largest selling products and most massive R&D budgets in the world. Then you have the efficiency of all of this: sure, larger Dies won't get better efficiency but Apple's chips use massively modular power operations. They can bring cores on and offline dynamically, you can chop the GPU, core by core, when you don't need it. They could (important: could) ship chips that use 4, smartphone power-level cores in normal operations but can flash on 64 core performance for a second and lose it just as fast. Thats how the iPhone's A13 works right now. Notebook (unsustained) performance in a smartphone with no fan. It's why the iPad Pro outperforms the 13 inch MacBook Pro at video rendering. It's the advantages of ARM chip design in 2020 and I imagine they will play to every last one of their strengths. All the real money is in pre-built systems. AMD sells a ton of units but nothing like Qualcomm or even Intel with their notebook stronghold. I'm sure theres space, just that I believe the market will be decreased in size and if Apple is over there frying everyone, then it's gonna be hard to advertise your hard work beating Intel. I'm not saying all of this will happen or even will happen next year, it's just that the forces here are somewhat massive advantages.
