What if Apple decided to release their “M” series processors a desktop CPUs? How would that change the market?

It would also be interesting to see Samsung Foundry release desktop Exynos chips or maybe Qualcomm “X” processors for desktop that are more powerful than the laptop chips.

p.s. I know they would never do anything like that, but it would be interesting to imagine how the market would change with more competitors

    I wonder what a motherboard designed by Apple would look like…

    also, given Apple, they would probably try to make everything proprietary (non-standard motherboard shapes, non-standard connecters, etc)

      Years ago, I built a hackintosh. So gigabyte mobo with Intel cpu. At that point, I learned you couldn’t legally buy apple software (OS), independently of their hardware.

      Apple has no interest in people screwing with their stuff, and I’ve never looked at them since. I’m an Android , Linux guy. Apple can kick rocks.
