We all benefit from Apple putting out a product that performs well, competition spurs innovation across the board. Apple set the standard for what an ARM CPU could be, and now everyone is scrambling to match that over the next year or so.
As for how much of the GPU is Apple internal versus...
The 3060ti was purchased from newegg in December 2020, pre-LHR being a thing.

Card was finally unboxed last month, and last week my eVGA notify came in for my 3080ti. The 3060 has about 20 minutes of...
I run a 4TB x 2x 24Drive Z3 setup for our offsite backup. It also has 12x hot spares (well, had, it's down to 9 after 18 months). The point of the overkill spares is that I don't want to have to see it in person ever again. It should be lifecycled before replacement spares are even considered...
Depends entirely on how they structured their contract with TSMC. They might have tons of wafers, they might only have a small run. Knowing Intel, it isn't a small run, at all.
The HPG series is being made on TSMC 7nm, possibly 6nm since that's essentially the same node with enhancements.
This is the perfect market for Intel to launch into. As long as they don't release a giant turd, it will instantly sell out. Hell, a turd would probably sell out.
Competition is great for us, the consumer. I hope they do well and would love to see them gut punch both AMD and Nvidia.
I think we're in for quite a few years of higher end modular PSUs just including a 12VO harness with their existing designs.
Dropping ATX24 is a good thing. Reduces overall complexity and waste of components. Loss of SATA power from the PSU is annoying for some, but in a few years even SATA...
