#5I'm under the impression that apple silicons dominance largely comes from TSMC. And that Qualcomm won't be able to match that. Am I wrong here?

#6This is certainly plausible for early hardware but I’d wait for more widespread confirmation before treating it as anything more than a fluke. It’s very easy to imagine that a new platform might have something like power management or driver issues which can be resolved without touching the hardware.

Snapdragon X Elite is manufactured using TSMC N4.

You can not run Linux on IPhone 12. Neither you can run Linux on Snapdragon X laptops in any meaningful way, today. While there was some Linux demos before Computex, there was no Linux demos on Computex, and people presenting the laptops were declining to comment about Linux.

Article isn't saying the Snapdragon is worse than iPhone 12, just that real world performance does not seem to match prerelease benchmarks.

It’s not just TSMC - they also have a very good CPU team giving AMD heartburn even when you compare the chips on the same TSMC process, and they have the part which is hardest to match: they control the OS, compilers, libraries, and key apps. That allows them to ensure that hardware acceleration is actually used, tailor chips for the power and usage patterns their devices need, and avoid the conflicts of interest inherent to multi-vendor systems because they share responsibility for a great device and profits aren’t unevenly distributed. That’s not perfect and they’re certainly in a bad place if they misjudge but it’s worked so far.
