>use it to make huge, low-yield chips and charge a small fortune for them, you can get some performance advantages.

1. It is not huge, by CPU Core or by SoC Die Space.

2. It is not low-yield either.

3. Comparatively speaking, what Apple include their SoC as BOM / COGS isn't anywhere as high as Qualcomm charges, hardly a small fortune.

4. It is performing close but at a much lower wattage. That is not just coming from a node advancement but mostly microarchitecture.
