Ryan Christoffel, at 9to5Mac, on Pat Gelsinger’s ouster at Intel and how Apple has avoided repercussions with its move to Apple silicon four years ago:

However, even though Apple can’t actually take much responsibility for its former partner’s decline, this story is a big win for Apple silicon nonetheless.

Why? Because not only has Apple silicon revitalized the Mac like Intel never could—it has also safeguarded Apple against being harmed by Intel’s rough patch.

It’s true. I never worry* about how Intel is doing anymore.

*Not that I ever lost sleep over the behemoth chipmaker’s prospects.
