> and they're the only company making high end ARM chips

I'm typing this with a Surface Pro X running a ARM64 CPU called SQ1 which a customization of a Snapdragon 8cx. It is quite high end and is not made by Apple. It might not be the amazing custom CPUs they have on iOS devices but it is still a pretty good CPU.



I mean, the Surface Pro X chip is fine, but it would be hard to call it high end; it significantly lags the usual intel chips used in tablets and small laptops on performance, especially single core. The newest Apple ones are competitive with those or beat them.
