Yes, because it kills Hackintoshes

No
A MacBook Pro with mobile Alder Lake would have the exact same efficiency and double the performance.

tsmc makes them

>wants applel users to burn to death
based

who cares, why not

They wish it on themselves. The M1 Ultra is a 200W housefire and loses to a 980 Ti in a 2013 game

it has integrated controller for nvme on the soc (most wearable chip), flash chips are external, this shit brakes and you have dead weight

Yes. Windows tablets are a decade behind thanks to intel

you cant just run them on arm?

No, M1 is a retarded custom version of the architecture with added vulnerabilities.

Yeah they're btfo'ing intel in terms of efficiency and thats a big part of apples core market.

I mean they're fast AF

Wait do they actually? I figured they had TSMC or someone make them

The design is in house while TSMC handles the manufacturing

It's surprisingly good thermal wise

>is it wise for a company who wants to endlessly restrict its users, apply total control and profit off everything it can, to be entirely vertically integrated and self contained

dunno lol

intel didn't give them a choice by being absolutely horrible and by the time ryzen came around apple had already committed to the switch

>glue 16 iphones together
>call it a workstation
what were they thinking?
