I doubt Apple will sweat. Intel and AMD aren't going to come out with an ARM based chip that's twice as fast as an M1, and their partners who manufacture the actual devices will have a harder time creating their own SOC - I guess Samsung would be well placed to do it, but they'd be as likely to just bypass Intel/AMD anyway. It's not like Apple competes on top performance.
- Maursault 4y agoThey have a lot more experience, so I expect if they turned their efforts to it, they might produce something that does make Apple sweat.
- jemmyw 4y agoI'm puzzled why you think that. Apple doesn't compete with Intel and AMD. If those companies produced a better ARM chip they'd be happy to sell it to Apple. Even a non ARM chip, Apple has shown they'll switch. What would make Apple sweat at this point? Google must have when it seemed like they were going to produce high end consumer versions of ChromeOS laptops and Android phones. That's the kind of integrated experience that would compete with enough money behind it to get somewhere. Google blew that one though. I'm not like pro Apple, I just don't think they care that much what Intel does.
