>Now that Apple will be using their own silicon, I wonder how those Pro Tools market will react. Seems like Apple already got the majority of them to support Metal. If true, with Metal Apple has already demonstrated accelerating apps that leverage Metal transparently with custom hardware. With Apple Silicon they could start to put all kinds of interesting accelerator cores for various functions. Look at pro workflows, see where current software is bottlenecking and address it in hardware. They already did this with the M1 and Javascript. Things could get really spicy. Very spicy indeed!

>Seems like Apple already got the majority of them to support Metal. That is good to know. I guess part of it is AutoDesk and Adobe are already invested and have huge demand for their Apps within iPad Pro user base. So moving other apps across to Apple Silicon should be relatively easier. And once the two industry leader moved others will have to follow to compete. The next stage will properly be courting Fortune 500 companies to move their Windows Desktop to future Mac mini. The road to 200M Active Mac users.
