| Probably Intel’s fumble when Apple asked them for better performance per watt for the laptop CPUs and whether they wanted the iPhone CPU business back in 2006. |

| ▲ | dannyw 6 days ago | parent [-] | | Well, they’re already funding so much ARM custom design, it’s not that incremental to tweak and scale for their laptops. |

| Probably the Intel CPUs in Macbooks before Apple made the push for the M1 - circa the Intel quad core era where their laptop chips had major heat issues... ~2012 IIRC? |

| ▲ | dannyw 6 days ago | parent [-] | | I’m not defending Intel here, but those Intel MacBooks never had appropriate thermal design or headroom for the processor’s operating specs. | | |
| ▲ | toasterlovin 5 days ago | parent [-] | | I think the theory is that they had an appropriate thermal design for cpus which were supposed to ship but never did. |
