First Apple Silicon Developer Transition Kit benchmarks show Rosetta performance impact
So, not even trying to make a shipping ARM mac chip, a two year old tablet SoC translating a more complicated x86 ISA to ARM still performs better than the Qualcomm SQ1 in the Surface Pro X running native, or just above a 2012 iMac, which while old is still a 91W TDP and running its own native ISA benchmark, again.
Man, the silicon when they’re actually trying is going to be bonkers insane.

Indian iPhone manufacturing could scale up in next five years
Excellent. India has it's own problems but at least it's a democracy that generally over time moves in the right direction, momentary setbacks are just that. Far rather them than totalitarian China.
It's a shame that that relationship was soured early on, seemed like an easy alliance, but you can thank Nixon and Kissinger for sending them into Soviet hands for a few decades there, tl;dr when Pakistan was committing a genocide in then-East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), India stepped in to try to help, and got threatened for it by the US of all things, because Nixon was so paranoid about that region going communist that apparently it was better to side with the genocide. The Soviets warded off the US ships, setting the stage for the relationships for the next few decades.

Handled a better way, India would have been a much better ally than Pakistan, and a much better counterweight to China. At least that's being fixed now it seems, if late.
