this is true, but does not account for the fact that apple M1 is just the first (public) iteration of such cpu.
- UncleOxidant 6y ago...and that if they wanted to I'm sure Apple could spin a server version with many more cores in pretty short order.
- caycep 6y agoWhat I'm curious is; is how Nuvia and the departure of Williams et al impacted their ability to do this?
- thu2111 6y agoIt's not that easy. Adding cores is not just changing "const int CORE_COUNT" somewhere in a VHDL file. Scaling up cores without hitting communication or other bottlenecks is a difficult engineering problem that has taken a lot of effort from Intel and AMD.
