Can you explain a bit? How can they design chip based on software requirements? I mean - they can add more threading, cores, etc. to ensure that heavyweight software like gaming, photo or video editing etc. can benefit from them, but still, the chip design is generic and any heaveweight software can benefit from it, not necessarily Apple's own upcoming in-house software, right?

Hmm thought so. They make hardware chips first, right, packing as many cores and transistors as possible in heat efficient manner? They make software like OS, apps, UX on top of the chips? Or is it that they plan the software first and build custom chip that is powerful and efficient enough to support their software vision? Seems unlikely, but just want to know.

Oops, sorry, I meant Air. Editing the question, thanks. But the Pro also rarely seems to emit sound of fan, unlike my earlier MacBooks (pre-2016), so something's changed for sure I think.

Hmm got it. If a Linux skin is rewritten in Qt, and the SDK and tool chain are exposed through Qt, can they be as performant, smooth and give the native feel like Mac OS or iOS apps?

Is Xilem remotely as mature a framework as one required for writing an OS and generating a toolchain and SDK at par with Mac OS (or iOS), Cocoa/Swift/Flutter?

Hi, I thought so too. But then why did it not work for Cloudflare, and why did their custom solution work with Pingora?
