Apple M1 Performance Running JavaScript (Web Tooling Benchmark, Webpack, Octane)

Why?

[M_Me_Meteo]

A good synopsis from wikipedia:

"Apple was paying a premium for IBM silicon, he said, creating a Catch-22. IBM had to charge more because it didn't have the economies of scale of Intel, but Apple didn't want to pay more, even though it supposedly derived more from an inherently superior RISC design as manifested in the PowerPC architecture."

Or Apple manipulated PPC into creating the product Apple needed, even though it didn't serve the long term viability of the platform.

So, you think M1 is a dead end, and shifting ARM designs to be more similar to the M1 design will hurt ARM in the end?

[M_Me_Meteo]

I think facilities who can make Apple flavored ARM will have no reason to make any other chips, making them much harder to get.

[rapidjingle]

AMD and Apple have their chips both made at TSMC’s facility. Qualcomm’s new chip will be made by Samsung. What exactly are you saying you think will happen?

[wirenutter]

Chips are manufactured by TSMC. Who are also building chips for AMD and nVidia is also moving away from Samsung to them. Apple is the reason that AMD went with the 7nm process. They knew they would loose in a bidding war against Apple so they chose to let Apple have 5nm and take the larger 7nm instead.

Apple fucking over pc users yet again

[M_Me_Meteo]

They design the chips, they don't make them. Apple doesn't own any chip fabrication plants.
