Yah, I’m really not enthused with the idea of having to pay monthly rent for my computers ability to function.
I wonder if intel just values their existing experience with 86 more than any potential efficiency gains since the efficiency matters a lot less when the whole system is just a glorified screen and antenna.
I’d say their recent trend towards packing in E(fficiency)-cores along with their previously standard P(erformance)-core design shows that they’re sensitive to and reacting to both the higher core counts of AMD and the greater efficiency of ARM

I think it matters more.
Apple’s battery life is so good in large part because ARM is way better at low end power draw.
