Right, I think in the end, this is going to show just how bad monopolies (or near-monopolies) can be for innovation. These are super impressive results, just hoping that the rest of Apple (software, developer relations) can turn away from the draconian future they are currently heading.

There's a fair risk of this turning into new monopolies, but at least it should take a while and hopefully other companies will figure out how to meaningfully compete

I guess the fact that Apple will probably never sell this stuff for non-Apple computers will allow AMD to keep competing on the PC side.

Clearly when Apple come out with a desktop class chip though, it's going to be hard for anyone else to come close.

Somehow that doesn't seem to be a problem for Android though!

The technology is mostly done by TSMC and ARM. Apple just modifies the cores and slaps them together.

What do you think this means for people who don't like Apple's business model? I don't want to be left behind on outdated hardware just because I'm a Linux user.

Apple isn't the only ARM vendor. Nuvia, Ampere and even Qualcomm will start shipping good ARM chips hopefully soon
