Cisco Silicon One

So, this apparently generated no interest on HN? :)

I respect the company's drive to adapt to new trends with it's portfolio but... the chip market?

To quote Bloomberg from here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-11/cisco-ent...

"The new initiative has the potential to attract business from customers who want to build their own machines instead of buying whole packages"

So, Cisco is doing the complete opposite of Apple?
