Isn't it funny that the situation between Arm SoC manufacturers - Apple vs Qualcomm exactly repeats the "confrontation" Intel vs AMD over the past 8 years? As always, Intel has higher single-core performance, but weaker multi-core performance - for the obvious reason - worse technical process. But Apple and Qualcomm are formally in the same league - both have direct access to "3nm" technical processes. It turns out that the Qualcomm team has not yet been able to achieve normal performance at the level of one productive core, but it takes them in quantity, and with the same technical process this is only possible by high consumption of the entire SoC. No miracles.
Obviously. that AMD is technologically inferior to Intel, since every time it loses in single-core performance, despite clearly more advanced technical processes. Gaining in multi-threaded work due to the difference in consumption of the entire SoC, i.e. It is clear to any IT expert that the Intel processor development team makes much more efficient cores, but simply cannot add many of them, because... how their technology processor support team is worse than TSMC/Samsung's. But having its own factories allows Intel to firmly maintain its overwhelming superiority in the x86 processor market in a 5:1 ratio compared to AMD. The latter is simply not able to increase its market share due to lack of access to large and cheap production - TSMC/Samsung cannot provide this to them.
There is also a funny correlation between the Apple vs Qualcomm opposition. Apple is always one step ahead in chartering major volumes to TSMC/Samsung compared to Qualcomm.
It turns out that the winner will be the one who can provide himself not only with the performance of his cores approximately equal to that of his competitor, but also will receive the desired level of access to mass and cheap production of chips, winning in this regard over his competitor. It is not enough to have the technologically best kernels (product) - it is important to have access to huge mass production of them using the most advanced technical processes before a competitor and in GREATER volumes, for LESS (per piece) money...
Intel already lives only on government subsidies; it has been bankrupt for a long time. And AMD is moving towards this, because... it clearly has less chance of entering the Arm SoC market for mass PC/laptop models, because her team is also apparently weaker at the moment. in this regard, like Intel, compared to the burgeoning teams at Apple and Qualcomm.
