AMD and Apple are in a different business. What makes sense for Apple doesn't make sense for AMD.
And AMD employed some of the most talented people in the area like Jim Keller. They totally can do it. Intel, too. Qualcomm is doing it with Orion and Qualcomm has less expertise and resources.
- BlackFingolfin 3y agoWell, Qualcomm at least claims that. Whether they can deliver is to be seen. Wouldn't be the first time they fail to do so...
- caycep 3y agoGranted, Keller was at Apple for a while too...
- aurareturn 3y agoQualcomm literally bought the team if Apple engineers who led the M1 design in Nuvia. That’s Oryon. For the last 10 years, Qualcomm couldn't come close to Apple designed SoCs. Now they might come close after buying a team of ex-M1 designers. It sounds ridiculous to say that AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm can do what Apple is doing. If they could, they'd be able to compete with Apple Silicon now. It's been 3 years. It's like saying AMD, Intel, Qualcomm can do what Nvidia is doing if they want to.
