Right, I think in the end, this is going to show just how bad monopolies (or near-monopolies) can be for innovation. These are super impressive results, just hoping that the rest of Apple (software, developer relations) can turn away from the draconian future they are currently heading.
- dm319 6y agoWhat do you think this means for people who don't like Apple's business model? I don't want to be left behind on outdated hardware just because I'm a Linux user.
- harpratap 6y agoApple isn't the only ARM vendor. Nuvia, Ampere and even Qualcomm will start shipping good ARM chips hopefully soon
- BillinghamJ 6y agoThere's a fair risk of this turning into new monopolies, but at least it should take a while and hopefully other companies will figure out how to meaningfully compete I guess the fact that Apple will probably never sell this stuff for non-Apple computers will allow AMD to keep competing on the PC side. Clearly when Apple come out with a desktop class chip though, it's going to be hard for anyone else to come close. Somehow that doesn't seem to be a problem for Android though!
- wishysgb 6y agoThe technology is mostly done by TSMC and ARM. Apple just modifies the cores and slaps them together.
