Because it isn’t a point. What’s locked down about an M1 that isn’t locked down about an intel?

- userbinator 6y agoTry to find any detailed information about it... http://www.righto.com/2013/09/intel-x86-documentation-has-more-pages.html http://www.righto.com/2013/09/intel-x86-documentation-has-mo... The M1 is really the same as an SoC in an iPad/iPhone --- essentially zero public documentation.
- frant-hartm 6y agoProprietary was the point. There is no open source support (in the Linux kernel). There are attempts to make it run, but before it becomes even barely usable Intel will catch up and AMD will be far ahead in performance and catch up with power consumption. Then there will be new models from Apple, but you the cycle will repeat itself, again no linux support etc..
- varispeed 6y agoFor starters you can buy Intel processor, but you cannot buy M1. You can only get M1 with a laptop or a tablet.
- lorenzhs 6y agoDoes Intel sell their laptop processors directly to consumers?
- varispeed 6y agoNot sure if directly, but to distributors who then sell to shops or consumers. You can also get datasheets for Intel CPUs and create your own motherboard if you wish so. You cannot do that with M1.
- onethought 6y agoSo that would factor into someone buying an Apple Computer all 0% right?
