That's just not a defensible position to take.
Intel's inability to execute a node transition has led to a situation where for years their only way to increase performance has come at the cost of major increases to power and heat.
>Whilst in the past 5 years Intel has managed to increase their best single-thread performance by about 28%, Apple has managed to improve their designs by 198%, or 2.98x (let’s call it 3x) the performance of the Apple A9 of late 2015.
