You might have the best car design in world, but if all could use was wood vs someone else who had a crappy design, but had aluminum the crappy designed car might work better.

Not saying this is the case with AMD vs Intel, but right now Intel's manufacturing is hurting them.

I think one thing TSMC does better than intel is they have a more long term view. They aren't as concerned about hitting next quarters earnings. Their single biggest shareholder is the government of Taiwan. One of their board members a is Taiwanese minister, So I think the government wants to make sure TSMC is around for the long term. They also provide a lot of jobs in Taiwan. If have ever been to Hsinchu you could see how many jobs the semi industry provides. Everything from engineers to more blue color workers.

Everything in tech is so cyclical.

To really make a dent in greenhouse gases you need US, China, India, etc. to come to the table.

new capability that will revolutionize how you build formulas in Excel

Which isn't really true. I can call macros using the =function(x) capability like forever.

The people who designed these chips are from intel, amd, samsung etc. Apple can spend way more money than amd or intel.

.net core is generally faster than java at this point.
