I’ve bought two M1 MacBook Airs, they work perfectly. Just plug it in at night, and should run all day unplugged. Planning to buy 2 more for personal use, want to upgrade 2 work machines to M1 MB Pros (alas, just got previous models), hoping to get a 27” M1 iMac as well. Good stuff.

Intel must be terrified.

“Intel must be terrified.”

Intel should be developing an M1 competitor. There should be enough brain power to pull this off when Intel collaborates with Microsoft, LG, Samsung, HP, Dell, Acer. Microsoft might have to develop a new Windows that will work with such a processor.

Intel is building two new chip foundries in Arizona. They better be 5NM capable for this projected M1 competitor, or Intel will die a slow death. TSMC is also building a foundry in Arizona, TSMC manufactures the 5NM M1 chips for Apple. And soon enough the M2 chips, that will be an amazing 4NM, for Apple

TSMC>
It also produces the 5nm M1 ARM-based Apple Silicon chip that contains a massive 16 billion transistors and will push out the M2 sequel that could be built using TSMC’s 4nm process node. TSMC builds the powerful M1 chip for Apple containing 16 billion transistors So Apple as TSMC’s top customer is a pretty easy pick.
Can you name TSMC’s top three chip-hungry customers ...
