Imagine if Apple were to announce a Mac utilise the exact same chip. A powerful high TDP CPU will be great fit for Apple, while they continue to focus on low power and energy efficiency for their mainstream product.

This seems unlikely unless Apple has decided to sell their chips for the first time ever.

I suppose it could be interesting from Apple's PR perspective, but I have serious doubts that the supercomputer owner would agree to this. What happens to them when Apple discontinues the current chip in favor of the next one?

The A64fx isn't that high TDP, if the reported number of ~160 W for the entire thing (including HBM) is accurate.
