Re: Wow.
and while secretly, El Reg staff are using Apple badged kit for their work (just perhaps, nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
Don't forget folks, Apple is nothing but a Foxconn re-brander.
Apple didn't make the M1, TSMC did. Apple innovation?
Being serious for a moment, there are moves to make Linux run on the M1 bare metal. That will get rid of the walled garden but how many people will take advantage of that? Very few or will 2022 finally be the year of the desktop?
Will Microsoft rise to this challenge or stick their head in the sand? That will be something to watch out for.
I'm sure that Samsung and Qualcomm are working on SOC's to rival and even beat the M1.
The big losers here will be Intel and AMD.
The CPU games are going to get interesting again and despite the Apple Haters out there, we will have to thank them for that.
