Commenters here seem to be focused on performance while doing what x86 chips do. They're missing the point. That performance is good enough. Top left on the arch slide: audio engine. Other on-chip blocks: camera compute, neural engine, machine learning accelerator. This is about advancing the state of the art in personal digital assistants. The Mac change is in service of the iPhone. I'm excited. Digital assisstants have stagnated for a long time, because of internet latency and lack of dedicated silicon (and perhaps privacy concerns). This is the way forward.
