Looking through Geekbench, the scores are equivalent to an Intel i7 8th generation 4core system with the ‘A14’ still having higher single core scores in most cases. Very impressive. Most laptops use an i5 4core - so this processor could easily power a laptop. Where it falls off is in multicore scores vs Intel’s 6, 8 core processors. There is certainly no reason why Apple wouldn’t add more cores to a chip designed for an ARM-based Mac computer or higher end laptop, the same way they juice the A series for larger display (but also larger battery capacity) iPads.

The current generations of MacBook Air are dual-core CPUs. So, a Intel i-7 quad-core equivalent for a MacBook Air would be AWESOME. Unless you are doing some heavy computational tasks, you don't need anything beyond quad-core i7 power. 95% of people would never need six-core or eight-core laptops.

This is the most overblown BS I have seen in my lifetime.  Pure hype.  The entirety of the American media should be dissolved for creating this panic.

Corona killed what, less than 100 Americans?  Swine Flu killed 23,000 Americans, nothing.  Measles?  Nothing.  H1N1?  Nothing.  EBOLA?  Not a damned thing.  

One basketball player gets a cold and the whole country loses its f#$(%(&  mind.  

Glad I have cash on hand because the market is having the sale of the century, and all its going to cost is the economy, and thousands of jobs.

Shame on all of you lemmings who are playing along.

It’s not about how many people have died so far. It’s about the mortality rate and how easily and fast this virus spreads. If we allow half of the population to be infected this year, there will be millions of Americans dead from this virus by the end of 2020.

If the Apple stock price gets low enough Apple can just buy themself out and the game will be over.

Even with the current slaughter AAPL is still worth $1.18T, not exactly a candidate for going private.

Nothing about Apple's current valuation or their structure makes ever going private a feasible option.

The Titanic is sinking and these guys can't stop talking about money, pathetic.

Apple is not going under.

I'm sure he wasn't referring to Apple. Apple is not doomed. Those who invested in AAPL at over $300 on the hype will be taken to the cleaners. Thank DED for his fanboy essays that blind the readers into buying AAPL when its grossly overvalued.

Who gets to do "after hours trading"? Certainly not the individual investor, right? If certain investors get to buy and sell securities over the weekend why is the stock market "closed" on Saturday and Sunday. I don't get this.

I guess all your "hard earned" money made from owning stock in Apple will be gone soon. Maybe another huge tax break for the 1% would make it right? 

I suspect many here, like I did, bought AAPL so long ago it isn't that terrible so far.

sorry you missed my point, buying stock is the laziest way to "earn" a living doing something that contributes to society is how to earn something.

2) Are you honestly not aware of what companies would be like if investors weren't allowed?

There's no longer any "investment" in Apple stock. When someone buys a share of stock someone else had to have sold. Apple gets not one penny of it either way. There's no investment just a change in ownership of a share. 

What about the stock awards that Apple employees and executives receive? It's money made out of thin air by diluting the value of existing outstanding shares. The AAPL investors are bankrolling the lifestyle of Apple employees and executives all the way to the top executives and Tim Cook.

It's times like these when the communists crawl out of the woodwork promising a chicken in every pot even though they know they can't deliver on that promise. "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work" is an old Russian saying. Time to send the rich to reeducation camps and confiscate their wealth. Oh wait, that's Bernie's plan. My bad.

He’s a socialist not a communist. Get your FUD right. 

He’s really more of a Marxist.

He is nothing like a Marxist, or anywhere close to a Marxist.  For instance he isnt trying to seize all the means of production, or instigate a worker's revolution. A few tweaks to medicare, some new taxes does not a marxist make. 

Guess you’re not familiar with his platform or his tweets?

Just today he insisted that a Coronavirus treatment should be “free”. How does that work?

Of course, the coronavirus treatment should be free. How does it work? How does a corporate tax cut work that adds $1 trillion to the annual US deficit? The same way the free coronavirus treatment would work. 

The US government's role is to protect the US population from all threats: foreign and domestic. That's the only reason that the US government was created by the States. The current government completely failed in its role to protect the US population from the coronavirus epidemic even though it had enough time to close its borders to ensure that only a handful of infected people would be able to come to the US and it should have quarantined  all of them for at least 3 weeks. Now that the US government completely failed the only reason it was created for, it should at least figure out how to treat coronavirus at no cost to the US nationals and those who die should be given free funeral services. That's the least that the Trump administration could do to save its face at this point.
