Comment Re:Its about making chips, not return to x64-64 (Score 1) 79

Are you actually gonna pretend that Intel being behind with their processes and their x86 designs isn't their main problem? Apple only completely switched to ARM because of the latter, and Microsoft didn't even think about switching real Windows (not their crippled mobile versions) until after Apple did.

Far ahead is overstating things.

It's the main reason Intel is in trouble.

The fact remains the process/price is an area where Intel can be compete over time, x86-64 vs ARM is not. Even if TSMC currently has the lead, their fabs are heavily booked. A second manufacturing source for Apple could be useful.

Sure. But there is no evidence that giving them money will help them catch up, given Intel have been trying to catch up for years, burning their own money in the process.

But even if they could, we'd only be at the point where Apple invested in TSMC, when they had a process but needed money for production capacity.

That's the thing: they don't get sorted as SPAM, they get sorted as "Unknown Sender" (and you don't get a notification) – because they are. And they are afraid nobody will look there unless they expect a SMS from an unknown sender. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2F9to5mac.com%2F2025%2F07%2F03...
