The question is "Would they, and do they need it?" For as long as it can't run Windows, it's not a competitor. A mass market chip will never survive the yield

The question is "Would they, and do they need it?"
For as long as it can't run Windows, it's not a competitor.
A mass market chip will never survive the yield on such extremely large dies.
Most of mass market chips will be many times smaller physically to make money.
Apple does not make money on these chips.
- UncleEntity 4y ago> Apple does not make money on these chips. You really believe that they treat their hardware as a loss leader when they are primarily a hardware company?
- baybal2 4y agoYes, otherwise they wouldn't have gone into own chips with such low volumes. Even now their volumes probably don't afford for them making much money on such big chips if we compare them to top tier competitor SoCs.
