No that sucks for everyone. It sucks for Intel too, but apples chips are now a proprietary design that apple themselves own, where software has to conform to.

Nothing good comes from one company owning the entire pie. You create conformance with apple's chips you're subjugating software to apples monopaly whims.
- bzzzt 6y agoApple is nowhere near 'owning the entire pie'. If anything, by adding the ARM option to the pie it increases the amount of competition. A few years ago (before AMD rebounded with Ryzen) Intel was also a de-facto monopoly, but the only possibility of avoiding them was to settle for significantly less performance. Now we have 3 players in the high-performance desktop market, seems like an improvement to me.
