AFAICT, Apple has three major advantages (note that architecture only has minor impact [1]) - first access to the best process - a great team - high bandwidth / latency DRAM Intel & AMD aren't that far behind on #1 and #2, but I'm surprised at how long it's taking them to catch up on #3. If they created and sold a chip with wide low latency DRAM on package they would simultaneously significantly increase their performance and also they would capture a higher proportion of the BOM cost of a laptop. Pedantic: AMD's MI300X has on package RAM, but it's not exactly a laptop chip... 1: Jim Keller https://www.anandtech.com/show/16762/an-anandtech-interview-with-jim-keller-laziest-person-at-tesla https://www.anandtech.com/show/16762/an-anandtech-interview-...
