I can't really dispute any of that.
It took almost a decade but the PA Semi acquisition showed that Apple was able to get out of the shadow of its PowerPC era.
Nvidia will remain a leader in this space for a long time. But things are going to play out wonky and Apple, when determined, are actually pretty good at executing on longer-term roadmaps.
If you're saying Apple is going to 'take on nvidia' in edge inference, then I don't disagree but I would hardly even count that as taking on nvidia.
