Re: Apple Silicon M1 Disruption
#3I have seen so many articles on HN in front page about M1 over the past few weeks. Like a curious child I read all of them because somewhere in me I want to believe there exists a possibility of a giant leap for Desktop/Laptop. Having tried it myself, I should say this is going to be remembered just like the iPhone in 2007.

#4The name rang a bell so I just double checked: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis_Gassée
He knows what he’s taking about.

#5> Now you got a big problem, because neither Intel, AMD, or Nvidia are going to license their intellectual property
I keep seeing this line and wonder - "did people miss the news about Nvidia buying Arm?". Sure, there are still plenty of hurdles to pass until it's official, but take a look at the initial piece written by Nvidia about the acquisition:
https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-to-acquire-arm-for...
Specifically this line:
> NVIDIA will continue Arm’s open-licensing model and customer neutrality and expand Arm’s IP licensing portfolio with NVIDIA technology

There's a lesson for all of us to not leap to conclusion.
In the case of the Apple iPhone I didn't see it and only boarded the train by iPhone 4 (and honestly, I think it was about the right time). In the case of M1 I _did_ expect a revolution and frankly one I had been waiting for for decades (the true cost of x86 is finally exposed). I can't wait to see if Apple can keep up the momentum.

Why so? I got the second model (3G), and if I could, I'd had gotten the first. It was already a giant leap from the smartphones of before (and I had the "flagship" models from other companies that were shit compared to it).

#8> Will Microsoft now offer an official Windows 10 on ARM that can run on M1 Macs? ... and how will HP, Asus, Dell and others react?
I guess Windows will come to the M1, including natively. I confess that I see the M1 as a "sustaining innovation" rather than a "disruptive innovation" using terminology that Christensen [1] (and Dediu [2]) use.

I actually used whatever was pre iPod - I think it was a phone I loaded your favorite 20 songs on? Either way, for all the talking down of the iPod when it came out - for folks who wanted to listen to music it was total magic. I bought the first iPhone too, and didn’t have a clue that it wasn’t a good email device. I still use only windows / Linux server side - but this new “gimmick” of the M1 does have me interested
Re: Apple Silicon M1 Disruption
#10I do give Apple credit for a terrific design. It would be interesting to know how much of the performance is attributable to the smaller process size, on-package memory, etc. Things others will be able to replicate. It's not clear to me how much of it is true competitive advantage.
