Sure is nice to see all these bloggers talking about what a piece of
silicon is/isn't that they haven't seen a datasheet for, let alone gotten
their hands on and hacked at.

"Not a CPU at all".  Pfft.  My Mac Pro doesn't have CPUs either because
the Xeons have memory controllers built-in.

"Nor did...Apple had(sic) anything to do with the creation of the CPU
component."  Right, because you can just drag-and-drop an ARM core into
Microsoft Visio for Semiconductor Layout and there you go!

They're like a bunch of 8 year olds talking about sex.
