This is not a war Canon is ever going to win on dxomark.

As thxbb12 already pointed out, Apple never produced CPUs for their Macintosh (or even older PCs) themselves. They started to use their own designs only just recently in some iOS devices (A4/A5 CPUs).
In addition, even if your perception might be different, this is no "war". You may not follow the market long enough, but for many years Canon's sensors set the benchmark for everyone else to beat.
That time is no doubt over, but nonetheless I don't get it why cameras are again and again reduced to the high ISO performance and dynamic range of their sensors. Is that really all you care about? Hey, that Sigma may have a heck of a sensor, but does that alone make it an attractive camera?
Even with the issues Canon is currently facing with both the 5D III and the 1Dx, both cameras are still very capable and well equipped machines. There's more to a camera than just the sensor, and certainly more to a system than just the cameras. When we look at the system as a whole, the EOS and EF line of products is still one of the most modern and complete ones.
