Piednoël, who doesn't shy away from giving his opinion about a variety of topics on social media, claims Apple may still be onboard the Intel chip train if the company hadn't found so many problems within the Skylake architecture:
"The quality assurance of Skylake was more than a problem," says Piednoël during a casual Xplane chat and stream session. "It was abnormally bad. We were getting way too much citing for little things inside Skylake. Basically our buddies at Apple became the number one filer of problems in the architecture. And that went really, really bad.
"When your customer starts finding almost as much bugs as you found yourself, you're not leading into the right place."
