Why doesn't the Asahi team just design their own silicon? With AI it is easier than ever. And no this is not a joke.

How to get it fabbed? That's even easier as there are lots of companies with $$$ who'd like to commoditize Apple.

How would designing a new chip commoditize Apple?

Why doesn't Apple just contribute to Asahi?

That would be missing the point entirely though?

Asahi Linux is a project to provide an option to people who have for one reason or another got themselves an Apple Silicon Mac.

Building their own silicon would serve an entirely different goal.
