Ahh but they actually ARE begging for Qualcomm chips in iPhones (their modems). I agree with the sentiment of your post however, since we are talking CPU not modems here.
Got a tip for us?

They don’t let the MacBook line go long without updates.. The Mac Pro and Mac mini, yes.
True. No particular implication and using while might have been clearer. I fully realise how inferences of meaning change in different societies. A native speaker would rarely ever think of that title as amusing since he does not usually relate the use of as in that way as other parts of the world do.
i was seeing iPad Pros with executives everywhere pre-covid. And last month, the 2018 iPad pro with an xbox controller was the BEST Fortnite experience I had across multiple platforms. 120FPS and didnt get hot.
Apple has already arrived. I think the paradigm has really changed. Chromebooks and Apple are splitting the market, just like Android and iOS did in 2015. 80:20. Everything other consumer market will be a niche market and collapse because it will lack scale economy. Business will follow consumer, just like with Blackberry/RIM.
On hardware, Intel will become an enterprise player and, as much as I was looking forward to Tiger Lake, what, a year and a half ago (?), AMD will be at 5nm before Intel is at 7nm
I guarantee that it will be at least a couple of years before the big engineering packages get ported, if at all. MATLAB, COMSOL, AUTOCAD, etc... As for HPC developers, out of the box INTEL FORTRAN is not going to happen, so that will leave jumping through hoops to install gfortran, but knowing Apple, once they have their own silicon, they will lock this platform down. Before you know it, you will be jailbreaking your MacBook Pro so that you could install third-party code.
You apparently completely missed the part where the article said "Since the Tiger Lake chips are for lower power laptops and max out at 28W, it is unlikely Apple will ever use them."
Will common analysis tools like R and Stata need to be ported over to the ARM Macs? If so, will that take a while? Apple says MS Office will be immediately available on the ARM Macs, but will that be the full version currently running on Intel Macs?
The full version of office should be ported. It’s really not a lot of work to port those sorts of apps.
You really haven't been paying attention, have you.
"Rise above imitators"
"beats the competition"
its just AMD and no one else on planet earth. Apple Silicon is Mac specific and not released yet.
Tiger Lake, Lion Lake, x Lake...even I who has been following tech for a couple of decades can't tell which is which and why one is better than the other.

You've been here long enough to know that's just not the case.
MR report on a lot of things not directly related to Apple products
I guess he was just a little Lake to the party.You're a bit lake with that one. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-silicon.2252485/?post=28844882#post-28844882
Apple's next chip lineup coming this fall will be 5 nm, the same as Huawei, but no one else.
That's not entirely true. The PS4 and XB1 were sold below cost and MS/Sony use subscriptinos and software sales to make up the difference. The Nintendo Switch is not sold below cost. Sure it's very close to break even though. Nintendo had said they would not sell the Switch below cost ever ans till this day they have not. That's based no the parts price. If you added in Swtch R&D though it would be even closer to break even.
I think it is possible they'll ship an updated 16" this fall with an Intel CPU for the last time before moving the entire MacbookPro line to ARM. I don't know if it will have this CPU or the 10th gen, but I'd expect a CPU update before they ditch Intel completely.
Who is saying that? Of course Apple SoC’s won’t be able to compete with behemoths like that any time soon, if ever. But a 10-15W Apple SoC (estimated 512 shader cores) is about 50% slower than a 50+W 1650 (1024 shader cores) -According to GFXbench
What this means is that a laptop part with 16 GPU cores (1024 shader cores) should have little difficulty matching mid-range desktop performance at around 30W
That’s an easy one. Tiger Lake is an ultrabook laptop CPU. It is max 4 cores and 15/28W - no desktop versions.
Which is a weird thing, since 13” MBP uses 28W parts. Tiger Lake is a perfect upgrade for that laptop.
It might be, if the 13” MBP doesn’t go Apple Silicon first.
Some rumors suggest the 13” MBP and the MBA will be among the first machines to convert over.
