isnt it TSMC's silicon with a printing recipe sent over from apple?
- collinvandyck76 5y agoYes, Apple relies on other foundries to build their chips.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoWell, that’s a surprisingly myopic take on a site with a disproportionately large audience who send recipes to silicon on the regular.
- rstupek 5y agoDoesn't AMD similarly send their recipe to TSMC to be printed?
- lostmsu 5y agoI think TSMC being the king here was the point of the comment.
- pjscott 5y agoThat’s correct, but (a) the recipe is extremely non-trivial and (b) Apple could take that recipe to Samsung and get mostly comparable results for something in the double-digit millions of dollars range for design conversion, so they have leverage.
