Apple will reportedly use 12-core 5nm ARM processor in a 2021 Mac
- mullingitover 6y agoI'm very interested to see if they're going to have some sort of x86 compatibility baked in, or if they decided that engineers, as a market segment, are a rounding error that they're comfortable writing off.
- partingshots 6y agoApple has had no issue forcing developers to follow their way. Take the transition to x86 itself for example.
- mullingitover 6y agoPrior to the x86 transition, Macs weren't very useful to developers. Designers, yes, but I never saw an engineer using a Mac before that switch, now I rarely see an engineer with something other than a Mac. Switching off x86 will likely throw that userbase out the window for Apple.
