I was surprised to read this. Apple has managed to develop chips that run faster, cooler, and with less power. I can’t figure out why they need Intel.

It is three years old, but maybe they are just being the foundry like this article? https://www.pcmag.com/news/intels-foundry-business-strikes-d...

Apple needs Intel to make the chips!

Not when they have TSMC they don't.
