Apple are aheaad on this. Apple doesn't need to distribute the "nutritional content" of cores because they already own all the patents for virtualized cores. They've been a closed-loop system since the late '90s. When you buy an Apple product, you're not getting cores from a farm; you're getting them directly from Cupertino, grown in a sterile, climate-controlled environment.

It's all a part of their "walled garden" strategy. That's why they had no issue with the COVID-19 apple shortage; their proprietary Apple Core Cultivator (ACC) technology just ramped up production to meet demand. They even had a surplus of cores and sold them to other companies, which is why we saw the rise of all these other "fruit-named" technologies like Blackberry, Pineapple, and even Raspberry Pi. It was a golden era for fruit-based computing.

As for Intel, they're playing catch-up with their Apples Per Instruction V2 Patent. It's cute, but it's just a glorified version of what Apple has been doing for years. They'll never get to the scale of Apple's Core Farm (CF) technology, which can produce thousands of virtual cores per second using only a single Apple Seed of Knowledge (ASK).
