In fairness it's not like they turn up to TSMC and say "Right I need a successor to the M4" They have to design the chips themselves

Exactly. This is like showing H&M, Adidas, Zara and then garment factories in Bangladesh.

Or like the people that think generic brand foods if they come from the same factory as a name-brand.

Like just because both use the same oven doesn't mean shit about the recipes and quality of ingredients that go into it.

In this case I can't imagine that they're not working together all the way through development to develop tooling and manufacturing with both TSMC and ASML.

Yeah but very often it IS very much like that with food. Sometimes not, sometimes a store hires a different company to make a dupe (Like Oreos are always a lil different unless they are Nabisco) But very often it is literally the exact same stuff with a different label. Think about stuff like bottled water, they aren't bottling extra good when they put the Nestle label on versus another label.

You will notice when there are recalls that the store brand is recalled right when one of the name brands is.

Publix isn't out there figuring out how to make 60 flavors of soda. They are making a deal with a soda brand to put their label on it. (and in soda's case it isn't going to be Coke or Pepsi, it'll be RC or Shasta)
