The real question is how do we keep TSMC out of the hands of China? They WILL take back Taiwan, the only question is how and when? Before that happens TSMC needs to move all their fabs to the US or other secure countries. Or at the very least make plans to blow up the ones that remain on Taiwan as soon as the invasion begins.
While the mainland Chinese media talk up a storm about taking back Taiwan, actually attempting it would be a very bad move on their part. Right now they simply couldn’t do it because they don’t have the naval power. Of course, that is rapidly changing as they continue to launch new modern frigates and carriers at record pace. The US Navy has sharp teeth though. Any confrontation would be quick and decisive.
Although a direct military conflict is unlikely, it is something for Apple to consider as a worst case scenario. It would be very bad for business.
Intel has had so many delays and setbacks, it's just hard to trust these types of claim. It's obvious that they have a lot of talent and capabilities, but their business operation has had them drag their feet until it was far too late. Foundry issues have also been a big part of their undoing. It's amazing how far behind they were on getting their 10 nm out the door. They've been known to have a few aces up their sleeve in the past, but it's just not so clear that will be the case this time around.
Anyone notice how the Intel apologists have come out of the woodwork in these forums? The M1 Max must really have their full attention these days.
Bold words by you considering you wear the crown for being the King (or Queen) of Apple apologists even when it isn't warranted. And I don't mean that in a positive way.

Steve knew that a corporation can only support the culture of innovation -- that real innovation comes from real, fully committed and dedicated people spending hours creating and improving product -- rather than planning for the weekend.
Does Intel still have that culture and the people to drive it?
Let’s see the numbers once it’s in a shipping notebook. Their current score looks like it’s using a desktop motherboard and who knows what kind of cooling and power it requires.
Apple doesn't focus on just "speed" but performance per watt. I don't see any information about that in the Gearnews article.

Absolute poison.
Amen.
The peanut gallery has spoken to each other lovingly, how quaint. Now get a room.
