Why no company is able to deliver Apple M1/M2 performance per watt


Apple launched M1 close to 2 years ago. It delivered exceptional performance per watt. Qualcomm being so old ARM player why they are so far behind?

Other companies did not have the money to be TSMC's first 5nm customer.

Ampere Computing does, and Rivos will.

Because they lack taste for quality and efficiency, they don't want to invest in R&D and they don't know how to retain talents

So you get companies that stagnate and higher ups are too focused on building a huge wealth and work hard to secure a golden parachute, maintaining their position and salary is higher priority

This summarize it very well, lack of taste and lack of vision, it's that simple and has huge impact on the products you release as a result

Pigeons too busy eating random shit in this particular parking lot, they don't know any better

This also shows why

Pure lack of taste

It translates to:

"They are stupid for trying to do better, you should hate them too"
