> Apple Silicon was great because Apple had invested huge amounts of resources for a decade on smartphone processors first

Doesn't that also describe what Qualcomm has been doing?

Sure, but they’ve been behind the whole time. It’s not like they’ve been trading blows each generation with Apple.

If the premise is that Qualcomm hired a team of super talented engineers who can build a product that competes with Apple, then those engineers will still need time to develop a product.

Again, maybe their new processors will be everything they claim. It’s possible for this to happen. I’m just not willing to buy into the hype yet.
