Very little.

Correlation. Not causation.

Apple shied away form Intel due to their failure at landing mobile chips.

Intel failed at mobile due to their (then) sales-focused (rather than engineer-focused) regimen.

What was it like working on these projects? Was it clear that the performance per watt was falling behind Apple’s expectations, and if so how was that felt in your workgroup?

[causality0]

Yeah. Just look at the performance per dollar ratio on mobile Intel chips right around Cherry Trail. Bay Trail and Cherry Trail lines were very good deals, and then core-m threw all that right out the window.

What are your thoughts on Intel's new management?
