Sure, vertical integration is nice, but why is it so hard - maybe even impossible, to achieve similar results without it? Windows is such an entrenched ecosystem with millions of PCs running it. The code running on most of them isn't complete blackbox. I find weird that Intel and AMD are not able, despite their cooperation with Microsoft, to achieve similar kinds of results.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoAre there any 5nm CPUs available yet for x86?
- acdha 5y agoThis isn’t a recent problem. Sometimes those companies work together but they often are at cross purposes because they each have different incentives whereas at Apple they all report to the same person.
- howinteresting 5y agoIt's a top-down versus decentralized, market-driven approach, with all the upsides and downsides of each.
- howinteresting 5y agoAMD and Apple aren't playing on a level field currently. We'll see how well the 5nm AMDs with the 3d stacked cache perform when they come out next year.
