Last time I checked, PC desktop were dominated by Windows by about 90% market share and that market, while shifting to mobile, isn't tiny either.
If they could come up with a desktop that is as small as Apple TV while providing enough performance of a large box desktop or shaves off 300g off of laptop without compromise or doubles battery power, that would be shocking even to average consumers.
As I have been losing interest on Apple products for the past 5 years not seeing much of innovations, I think it's time they take the risk while they can.
It's a shocking news if x86 drags Intel (and to some extent Windows) to secondary position, if Apple does it right.
- shanusmagnus 10y agoI think you vastly overestimate how much average consumers and businesses know or care about any of those issues. Apple could release a chip that was 500% faster than the equivalent Intel chip while only consuming 75% of the power and it wouldn't move the needle on the distribution of Mac vs. Windows purchases. The vast majority of people and businesses who buy Windows buy in for the ecosystem and nothing else.
