      It’s silicon. Silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance.

      By making their own, you mean telling Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company “hey we are going to buy enough of these units that you have to give us the specs we chose at a better price than the competitors, and since we chose the specs off your manufacturing capacity sheets we will say “engineered in Cupertino TM” “

      Btw I’m not shitting on Apple here. I love my m2 processor.
