Have you considered Apple silicon is a big blow to intel, that Apple is a HUGE account for intel? Intel used to be on the cutting edge or Moore’s law, now they have been behind the eight ball treading water for several years, it’s hard to dominate a market when another company TSMC is out performing them in terms of innovation.

That is some grade A hyperbole. Intel certainly has some issues and is facing challengers in a way that it hasn’t in some time. That said they are still the dominant player in the processor world and are nowhere near obscurity. Their closest rival, AMD, doesn’t do anywhere close the volume that intel does. 

What Apple is doing is largely irrelevant to Intel since Apple doesn’t sell their chips to the broader market. So even though Apple Silicone can out perform Intel it is only relevant to the Apple ecosystem which is just a tiny fraction of the broader chip market.
