Here's some apple news. While I personally don't care about Macbooks/iMacs very much, the move going from x86 to Arm is pretty weird even for them. Specially since it sounds like it will include their "Pro" series as well. If Intel continued with their quad core nonsense, I could see how maybe Arm could make some sense but with Ryzen competition and Intel upping their core count, this certainly could be a DoA move even for Apple. I guess they care so much about their eco system that they want to lock it down even to the point where the only reason you would buy one of their PCs is to develop for iOS and use their own software. Where as now, you could say that a person that would buy a Mac would want a laptop that gives them the benefits of both Mac OS and Windows.

Least with this and Ryzen, Intel should be starting to sweat.
