> But that is when it is completely over with Intel, AMD, Nvidia completely.
AMD is already shipping on 9 tile SoCs, and Intel is doing tile stuff, too.
Unless Apple gets back into the server game, and gets a lot more serious about MacOS, pretty much nothing Apple does makes it "game over" for Intel, AMD, or Nvidia. Especially not Nvidia who is still walking all over every GPU coming out of Apple so far, and is so ridiculously far ahead in the HPC & AI compute games it's not even funny.
Having impressive or even superior hardware does not mean that the ecosystems built up around Intel/AMD/Nvidia disappear over night. Wake me up when Metal has the same libraries that Cuda does, etc. etc.
So presumably $16,000 (or greater) systems?
In what way does this eliminate competitors from the market? Also is Apple doing something that is literally impossible for anyone else to do?
And will the use cases that Apple currently does not cover cease to exist?
