gwmac said: Any speculation as to how many Apple silicon cores will go into various models? I wonder how many they will put in a Mac Pro vs MacBook Air for example. I predict that the MBA will have more and faster Cores than the A12Z, and…

crowley said: I wonder if the higher end Macs will have A chips with integrated GPUs, or if there will be non-GPU variants where Apple have a dedicated separate GPU, presumably from AMD. I submit that, by the time they get to the Mac Pro; …

KITA said: This assumes Apple has the best parts, integration and ecosystem. That's not always the case. Other manufacturers have done considerable work on integration and the major productivity ecosystem is not with Apple. The point of the Cor…

tmay said: My point is that Qualcomm is going to remain behind Apple in SOC performance, both in mobile and in notebook/desktop. The fact that Qualcomm has an architectural license yet has waited for Cortex X is telling, all the while Apple is …

EsquireCats said: In terms of performance I find that people are being too myopic here - the Mac is no longer required to follow the traditional concept of a powerful general processing unit tied to an array of secondary specialised har…

crimguy said: I am also skeptical. All of this talk about virtualization, Rosetta, etc. Very reminiscent of when we went from PowerPC to Intel. The difference is, going to Intel was a boon because suddenly we had Macs that could run linux,…
