Pjs said: The future of the Ipad pro is bleak. Prices are higher. And they still use the Ios base .... On the contrary, put this class of chip in an iPad and you have the most powerful table going. IPad OS is a mixed bag and I really …

This should be the most interesting Apple event in years. I hope it isn’t watered down to grade 5 level.

jcc said: This article paints a too rosy picture of the transition. The fact of the matter is that moving away from x86 will end Mac’s “best of both worlds” status. That means no more running Windows software. Nobody cares any more. Back…

d_2 said: The semi obvious thing that isn’t being said here is that Apple has *complete control* of the processor design and OS for the new Macs, like they have had for iOS devices... thus, besides the usual compute logic within the CPU, ther…

cloudguy said: Take a step back a bit. Qualcomm's best laptop chip (used in Windows Surface type devices and soon in Chromebooks) is the 8cx and it has benchmarks comparable to the Intel i5. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qualcomm-s-Snapdrago…

aderutter said: I too think this could be the new iPad Pro rather than a Mac as the Mac is rumoured to use an A14T ? Surely an A14T would be more powerful than an A14X - I’m thinking a Mac will need a better GPU than an iPad? I have to ag…

TheObannonFile said: If they do this, then the whole MacBook line is transitioning to Apple Silicon all at once. That’s awesome, but not sure about 16-inch being released. *fingers crossed* Since we are focused on MacBooks right now, these c…

CheeseFreeze said: Transitioning to Apple Silicon would have made a great moment to transition to a new design also. Reusing the same design would be a bit disappointing, especially the monitor bezels feel dated. That said it would be impress…

entropys said: What COVID upheaval? There is no reason for constrained production in China. China reports it has only had 86,000 cases in total, and only 24 new cases Nationwide yesterday! You can't believe anything China says about Covid.

These AS machines are going to be most interesting. We already know how good the current AS is so it doesn't take much to imagine what enhanced chips will be able to do. The biggest question in my mind is what the CPU cores will look like. Will …

williamlondon said: MacBook to rival 12" Core M with super long battery life, no fan and lots of power would be one way to demonstrate to Intel *how* to build great, modern chips. Intel is basically shipping crap across their entire produc…

mknelson said: What can they do in 30 minutes? That seems too short to do a comprehensive profiling, much less offering significant code advice. There must be something in the way of followup. Sounds like about enough time to load an app,…
