I can't wait to see how the price and power compares to the Intel Macs.

  I expect the price will not budge at all.

    Apple has target margin levels, they may increase slightly but most of the savings will go to customers. Apple understands that most customers can’t justify the higher cost of Macs despite the additional value, they will for sure attempt to use ARM CPUs to grow Mac market share.

      How does that work with the ARM iPhones being as expensive as the Intel Macs?
      • valuearb 6y ago
        The iPhone SE is $499, and faster than any Android phone ever made.

      Apple has ~$100B cash in the bank. If they wanted to increase market share by lowering prices, they could.
      • Hamuko 6y ago
        It's closer to $200B.
        • valuearb 6y ago
          No, you aren’t counting over $100B in debt.

        Not sustainably. Giving away product isn’t apples style. ARM will allow for $799 MacBook Airs with better battery life at the same margins as before.

  Given that my iPhone's A11 Bionic beats my desktop's i5-7400 on Geekbench's single-core benchmark, I would expect that a newer desktop-optimized Apple chip would destroy most Intel laptop chips.
