Title: Seems Apple are moving to their own chips for many reasons, but commercial ones aside, I see reports of Apple chips operating at 25-30% better thermal efficiency than their Intel counterparts.<p>My question is, why is it that Apple can achieve such massive jump in the heat&#x2F;performance ratio? And why couldn&#x27;t Intel? Is it just that Intel can not embrace ARM or is it an issue of backwards compatibility forced on Intel that makes their chips so inefficient in comparison?<p>Seems like building a CPU is a very non trivial task and seems this current situation would be similar to Intel making it&#x27;s own laptops.
