One could tolerate Steve Jobs telling lies...but to hear two lowly tech guys spout patronising trash wrapped in lies is simply laughable. The former had vision, the two techs rely on rear view mirrors and left/right indicators.

Why would anyone trust Google with anything? That includes you, Apple!
They know all about your secret deeds and thoughts, so just give those Page and Brin twats the keys to your houses and be done with it.

I’m not really sure the point Intel is trying to make here. Most people who follow this know this is all cherry-picked and full of unequal comparisons (difference in chip wattage, software that runs through translation, unusual tests, etc).  Secondly, who is the target audience here?  Who are they trying to convince? I have news for Intel:  Apple is gone.  Within 18 months, you won’t sell them another chip.  So is it a Windows vs. MacOS thing now? Good luck with that.  Apple realized a long time ago it didn’t need to beat Microsoft.  They are selling Macs hand over fist without even really going after Microsoft.  

You blew it, Intel.  

So you're saying that Apple would have never gone the route of in-house CPU production had Intel kept up with the performance/power in their CPU's?  

I think the opposite.  I think it was inevitable that Apple would develop their own Apple Silicon.  They had a winner in the CPU's used in iPads and iPhones.  It was natural to use those in their notebooks and desktops.  Regardless of what Intel did, I think the turn away from Intel and towards Apple's chip-independence was coming.

Just what is expected? It's marketing, so, stop the bickering, children. This play had been on the cards since before Jobs' death. Apple is a strongly independent marque and contrary to we Homo sapiens, microprocessor designers discreetly absorbed into the ooze long ago were no pernicious evolutionary accident.

Closer to the Neanderthal branch, I'm of an age where I'll not be biting in to the Apple silicon.

Big Blueberry or Apple, enjoy your slice of the pie.

We have 3 late 2012 MacMini's in the household and not one of them can maintain a Bluetooth connection beyond 2 meters (one is limited to one meter). It's impossible to use Airpods with any of them as the signal makes and breaks constantly (even on head rotation) if one moves beyond six feet of the CPU and measured signal to noise is dreadful. Two were replaced by Apple within 30 days of purchase though the replacements suffered the exact same problem. We only kept the MacMini's because there was no alternative and iPads allowed better AIrpod connection over greater distance. Apple has a terrible track record for some of their misengineered mishap's. Take them to an Apple Genius and watch the Genius metamorphose into a dumber version of Homer Simpson.

Free!!??

99% of these free (trial) apps are cynically opportunistic marketing ploys.
Besides, kids over six with Apple devices will get more lasting fun out of a ball of playdough.

Games...Apple... You have to be kidding...
