And here we are having China use our own legal system to prevent TikTok from being banned in the U.S. over "free speech" issues, and lemmings here defending the CCP.

Keep on defending the CCP!

@Mike%20Wuerthele Why is it the majority of retorts to GeorgeBMac's crap were deleted, leaving him ranting about "Trumpers" and "China haters" into space without refute, and without deleting his claims that are as baseless as Trump's election fraud claims? Doesn't exactly seem even-handed. It was on-topic since it was on the subject of forced labor, apparently GeorgeBMac thinks Apple is lying. There are BLM related posts that are totally off topic that are still up.

Why would they leave the baseless, factless propaganda to stand without any refutation?

The fact is:  you guys fill the forum up with right wing propaganda but you can't stand to be challenged and so you lash out with personal attacks -- which were deleted.

Except as discussed ad nauseam, that is not a fact. As we have said in other posts we are not right wing propagandists - as I said I don't even live in the US; but your agenda is blinding you to the real state of China. You refuse to criticise any aspect of China whatsoever.

WRT Trump, someone agreeing with something someone says doesn't mean they idolise that person, to think that is the case shows very simplistic understanding oh human psyche. By your own metric Apple must be a raving right wing pro-Trump company, as they are dropping a supplier who is using forced labor. You have baselessly claimed these abuses in China aren't happening with nothing to back that up - just like Trump has done with your apparent election fraud.

And remember, you were the one with personal attacks, calling people "trumpers" for example, but for some reason you seem to think your personal insults are ok because they're anti-trump - whether the target is as you say a "trumper" or not. 

Yeh, I get it that you like to spread Trump's hate and propaganda of China.  But don't want to be labelled a Trumper or a China Hater.  Got it.

The iMac will come much sooner. It makes no sense for Apple to wait another year and release them end of 2021. 

More likely, it’ll be released before Q3.

Wondering if they are working on Intel emulators. There's a lot of us out here that still need to run the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Pro for specific reasons, and do not want to lose that ability. Maybe these 'higher-end' machines will get that function first? 

Apple says Microsoft is responsible for that.

Why stop at 32 cores. The current TOP500 supercomputer is comprised of a ton of Fujitsu A64X 48 compute core CPUs based on ARM v8.2-A. Cray is also working on changing to the ARM architecture. The current implementation is only running at 2.2 GHz using a 7nm CMOS FinFET design. This is on one chip! (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujitsu_A64FX, also https://www.fujitsu.com/downloads/SUPER/a64fx/a64fx_datasheet.pdf)

Those are designed for massive parallelism. This is not something that would be necessary for what is essentially a single user computer. You could get more perceived performance from a lower core, higher clock speed design.

Even a 12 HP core design clocked higher would basically blow past almost everything on the market right now.
