Intel can’t do it. The leader of chip fans for near half a century failed to deliver on this generation of lithography. That’s the level of difficulty we’re talking about.

Intel is stuck in fierce competition. They don't have the money that China has.

I suppose that Apple or Google would be able to pull it off though.

Neither of those two companies have any of the needed expertise. If all you have is money, it will take you decades to catch up.

Neither have any fab operations, what makes you think they could make a dent? Mind you don’t have to just make chips. You can’t make inferior chips and brand them a certain way. You need to be an actual market leader at the cutting edge of fab technology, otherwise Apple devices will not be competitive.
