Just put it next to your ear... it'll sure blow your mind!

I do not believe that Apple will release a Mac that has an inferior CPU. They know better than that and it's a no brainier that it will make them look really bad if they did so. I trust that they know that they are doing and when they release the Macs with Apple Silicon, they will show the benchmarks compared to the equivalent Intel CPUs. 

Also, just look at what they have done with their processors on iPhones and iPads: They have added security features to the processor itself, such as Touch ID (I think Face ID too), so that it's all on one chip. They will do the same with the Arm processors for Macs. The possibilities are endless. Now that they bought the 5g Intel modem division, future processors will include built-in 5g, which also means that future Macs could have 5g built into them.

Just imagine if everything is on one chip. It will not only be a space saver, but will also be more energy efficient, will make production much simpler and quicker and improve speed too.

I really think we have to trust they know what they're doing here.
