*Why is Apple ditching Intel to go with ARM-based Macs on TSMC Silicon?*

Verbatim:
 "*Why is Apple ditching Intel?*"
  <https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac/apple-silicon-vs-intel-3793039/>

 "The move from Intel to a custom ARM based chip would offer a number of
  benefits to Apple, namely
  (1) not being dependent on Intel's processor release schedule, 
  (2) increased profit margins, and 
  (3) improved market share if Apple passed its savings onto the consumer"

 "Apple has outlined its own reasons for the move away from Intel."
  
 "The transition would establish a common architecture across all Apple
  products, making it far easier for developers to write and optimise 
  their apps for the entire ecosystem."

 "Developers will be able to make their iOS and iPadOS apps available on
  the Mac without any modifications"
-- 
Bringing adult truths which were lacking for decades on Apple newsgroups.
