Manufacturer? Where are Apple's fabs located at?
- awestroke 3y agoNot TSMC, that's for sure. TSMC is using ASML machines to etch the transistors, so by your logic ASML is the biggest CPU manufacturer
- hardware2win 3y ago>so by your logic ASML is the biggest CPU manufacturer No? How? The logic is pretty simple Chip designers are fabless companies: AMD, Apple, etc. Chip makers are companies that physically manufacture those CPUs, so TSMC, Intel, etc. There is edge case if chip maker has some designs that are created in another company's fabs, but is it relevant for this discussion? I dont think.
