They brought some chip design in house. Chip production is quite expensive that only a few companies do it in house.

- dba7dba 13y agoI know this is a hearsay but at the height of the apple/samsung law suit I was following a story and one of the commenters claimed Apple's chip R&D was being done in a borrowed facility at a Samsung owned chip factory in Austin, TX. Intrinsity based in Austin had been doing work with samsung and since Intrinsity was bought out by Apple, I think there's some chance it's true. No way I can verify if it's true it'd be pretty funny...
- donavanm 13y agoIntrinsity did design, not process. They did some design work for Samsung around the A8/Snapdragon days. Shortly after that Apple acquired Intrinsity and brought them in house ala PA Semi.
