It’s more like Apple fronts the cash for TSMC’s latest node. But regardless, in what way does that detract from their chips being class-leading at release?

- fragmede 2y agoBecause the others can't use that node, there are no others in that same class. If there was a race, but one person is on foot, and the other is in a car, it's not surprising if the person in the car finishes first.
- whynotminot 2y agoEventually Apple moves off a node and the others move on. People pretend like this isn’t a thing that’s already happened, and that there aren’t fair comparisons. But there are. And even when you compare like for like Apple Silicon tends to win. Line up the node, check the wattages, compare the parts. I trust you can handle the assignment.
- cbzbc 2y agoI have some sympathy with this view because it's in no way mass market. Nevertheless, product delivery is a combination of multiple things of which the basic tech is just one component.
