Qualcomm and Samsung have made SOCs for 5-10 years longer than Apple though... It's not like there was no integrated cores before the M1.

And where exactly are those SoCs? I mean where are the M1-level chips? Forget M1. Where are A-level chips? They didn't even anticipate the switch to 64-bit on mobile devices, much less M1.

Yes, custom SoCs are nothing new. To pretend that M1 isn't any different from other "specialty SoCs" is delusional.
