You weren’t completely sure why, but you felt it was good. Then Apple turned on Intel and cast it outside, there to fend for itself without Tim Cook’s beatific benevolence. This wasn’t sad for, say, M1 MacBook Air users. With Apple’s own chips, laptops suddenly had more speed and more battery life. Intel, however, was quite upset.
