They're using ARM designed cores. So it's more like Apple just isn't as far ahead of ARM as some people claim.

Intereresting point I will try to see if i can find more about it. I would assume apple has a lot more magic sause than just TSMCs best node and a little bit of ARM architecture addons.

Why would you assume that? ARM has been a chip design firm for 35 years...

And exactly how far ahead has Apple been since 2010 or so? That’s why you would assume that. ARM designs have different constraints than Apple’s designs.
