To give you an idea of just how good a decision it was for Apple to make their own chips.

In 2003, Apple released a 64-bit dual-core 1.8Ghz system: Power Mac G5.

In 2023, Apple released a 64-bit dual-core 1.8Ghz system: Apple Watch Series 9.

The Watch is faster and has more RAM.

The G5 was too hot to put in a laptop. It’d use up S9’s Watch battery in under 2 minutes.
