> It's pure speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be hugely surprised if the first ARM-based MacBook could match the performance of the previous Intel-based machines when running emulated x86 code and substantially outperform them when running native code.
To me, this would be highly surprising - in particular if we are talking about x86 code that uses AVX instructions. If you want evidence, just consider the performance difficulties that x86(-64) emulators for game consoles that do not use x86 processors such as PS3 or XBox 360 have.
