Its tsmcs chip not apples though, anyone can up and order something of those sort of specs from them and meta has plenty of money to wave around at a crowded bar for attention.
- doctoboggan 3y agoTSMC is a fab, not a chip designer. Apple designed their own chips with in-house engineering talent. Due to how the silicon supply chain works no-one but TSMC can make those chips so everyone needs to use them. Also Meta can't just waive around money and get the most advanced chips; apple has bought out all the production for some time.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoAmd waived around enough money to get a big order of 3nm too and they aren’t even big scary nvidia but the underdogs in this space.
- hbn 3y agoYou really think if it was that easy to compete with Apple's SoCs, Google wouldn't have done it long ago for the Pixels? Or someone in the Android space would step in to compete with Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips? Samsung hasn't been able to do it for years with their Exynos line.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoLooking at tsmc’s zen 5 they just sold to Amd I think its certainly possible.
- threeseed 3y ago> anyone can up and order something Can you send me the link for this and do you know if I can also order my own custom 4090 GPU as well. I am thinking I might beat Nvidia and Apple at their game.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoProvided you have a millions to waive around at tsmc this is certainly possible for you. They don’t work for Apple they work for money.
