It always struck me as funny/pathetic ...'don't be evil' it is literally the lowest bar possible for 'goodness'. 

I know this will sound crazy but I predict that Apple WILL NOT position the A-series as the low-end product, but instead position the A-series as the "High End" product categories.

I think it is already happening with the price of iPad Pros. I think they will retain exclusive features compared to Intel Chips, maybe these will be performance (just look at the current iPad A-series, faster than what 92% of portable computers), or battery life, or specialized application support, or maybe it will just be a spec advantage, like more Ram or thinner products. 

Now this could fail, and I could be 100% wrong about how they position the A-series as premium but I find it very hard to believe they would make a transition unless 1. The A-series is better than Intel. and if that is true then why make it a value low-profit product?? 

To over-use a saying; Comparing Apple's Silicon release cycles to Intel's Release schedule is an 'Apple vs Oranges' comparison....but you can still compare them - Dave Burd...Scanning through the wiki articles about Intel processors...Intel has had many years of 12 month cycles, and an 18 month cycle recently, but the new generation processors offered very incremental improvements in terms of specs. Intel has also been stuck at 14nm for 6 years! If Apple can launch one node improvement (thank you TSMC) and incremental feature or spec bump in 18 months it would be, in my opinion, an improvement over Intel....though I don't expect the CPU alone to drive upgrades for me, personally. In my opinion it took 3 to 4 intel cycles (3 to 5 years) before the node seemed to make an appreciable difference in performance that I would consider 'worth' upgrading to get the new CPU.

Thank for writing this article! It is nice to know!

I've said this before. I don't think they need to replace Intel in a 'mac book'. I don't like the conventional 'wisdom' that Apple will put their A-series in 'low-end' computers and replace Intel just for the sake of it. 

I think they will position their A-series as a premium product and try to capture market by increasing the value perception of products with their chips. They need to attract buyers to their products not push their CPU to supplant someone else's.

They have been doing this for years. Its called iPad. For a Pro iPad the price range is $799 to $1,649 with the following features that a Macbook doesn't have:

Now THAT is courage!
