Word is they're also making a first party gamepad. 

If the price remains the same it should be with the A12X+gamepad in an Arcade themed bundle, that's getting into serious microconsole power there. 

A bunch of companies have put out terrible ERs recently and rallied on the news. 

Prediction: Predictions will be wrong and no one knows anything.

Wondering if a "Rosetta" type emulator would be created to aid in the transition. 

It mentions ensuring you're not out of luck for legacy apps. Almost assuredly will have an emulation layer as a short term bandaid, while encouraging all devs to start porting to ARM.

Hopefully this will come with iPadOS and not MacOS.    

There's an article linked, folks, it's macOS, thankfully! 

8 performance cores, 4 efficiency. That's going to be a monster. 

On 5nm, perhaps that's even for the 14" MBP, since on the Intel side we should also be getting up to 6 cores on there. 

Interested to see the impact a megacap tech giant can make into the healthcare space. 

Take cancer research, yearly R&D spends are on the order of only a few billions, and progress comes, but very slowly. This has impacted me personally as recently my mother was diagnosed with a GBM, which is a brain cancer that's thought to be largely incurable. Apple spent 16 billion on R&D in 2019 from what I can tell. For companies this large, even small ventures into novel R&D on healthcare could be comparable in magnitude to everything that's spent in a year on cancer research, or Alzheimer's research, or whatever else they turn their attention to.
