Stop us if you've heard this before: There's a new Apple Silicon killer in town
I thought this was going to be about the Apple-Silicon-Killer Intel Mediocre Lake chips that I read about elsewhere yesterday. In any event, what the people behind the "Apple Silicon Killers" fail to appreciate is that the performance alone is not the Mac's killer feature. People buy Macs because of the whole package - hardware/software/ecosystem (or marketing and they don't really know what they're buying - for many of us it's the whole package.)
Macs have been on 4 distinctly different processor architectures that have sometimes been best-in-class and sometimes not. (Motorola 68k, PowerPC, Intel, and now Apple Silicon) If Intel, AMD, or anyone else made a processor that really made Apple Silicon obsolete to such an extent that some other Apple software/hardware/ecosystem advantages were muted, Apple could switch to it. -
