What? Apple has 80,000 employees. Intel has 105,000. So I doubt any Apple division is larger than Intel, if you catch my drift.

I doubt all 105k Intel employees are hardware engineers. Half of them are probably sales.

52% of Apple employees are in Apple Stores through the retail division.

Meanwhile ARM is just a couple of (thousand) guys in Cambridge, drinking tea and talking about the weather.

He said 'bigger than Intel', not 'bigger than Intel's same department'
