From what I hear apple's latest chips are already so far ahead of amd64 in performance and power consumption that they can easily wait a couple of years. I do not think that this is what they actually want to do, i am only saying that they can even afford that for a few years if they have to.
I am not sure that there is enough demand from smaller clients to 100% cover apple's usual capacity.
in short this seems to be a real bras de faire :)
- sfifs 4y agoThe vast majority of Apple chips are phones, not Macs. Samsung is neck & neck and their top end phones are definitely competitive, performing better in many ways for many people.
- colinmhayes 4y agoApple's chips are better largely because they're the only one on TSMC 5. If apple went to say samsung they'd end up on a worse 5nm process while AMD takes up the 3nm capacity Apple just ditched.
