This is great. Apple's A series chips were catching up to Intel in performance while using much less power. It was only a matter of time before they switched to using their own chips in their computers. It's not the first time they've switched using different chip architectures. They previous switched from PowerPC to using Intel's x86 chips. Now they're moving from x86 to ARM chips. ARM is the future.

    [deleted post]Please enlighten me.

    What does audio bug have anything to do with AMD?

    I used to have a network problem on with my computer, which is using Intel CPU. So, by that logic, it's Intel fault, right?

Most of the gaming laptops are still stuck to intel and there's a reason for it. Only Asus wants to make the switch to AMD. Even the newest Razer Blade is stuck on intel.

        If you wouldn't prefer Windows, Android or a Ferrari then most certainly you wouldn't buy any of those which in turn would lead to 1 person less on the marketshare scale ;)

              But not entirely sure about AMD cause those 8-core ryzen 4000 on 15W TDP are a blast.

                      I'm glad. With apple's track record of chipsets, this one should be much faster than the intel and AMD counterparts.

                          You say android is better than IOS, then windows is better than MacOS yet you mention nothing of ChromeOS? You know why? Cause you can use the excuse of "Windows is far superior because of Market Share bla bla bla". That's why.

                          You can keep your superiority arguments to your self, not spreading this contagious virus of one OS is better than the other. If you really want to be like this, don't go to a place like GSMArena who makes unbiased opinions(unlike your completely biased ones), go to an android forum of people who love android.

                          Marketshare doesn't determine preference. That is all. Just because more people buy windows doesn't mean they PREFER windows. Just because more people buy android doesn't mean they PREFER android.

                            For the general consumer, Windows is the first choice of OS on PC platform.

                              AMD conquering victories in every segment day by day.
                              And now Apple putting another dent in their marketshare.

                                That seems a strange decision. I doubt arm chips could beat intel chips in next few years. Also most of the software will need to be recompiled for ARM or need to be emulated, which has further performance impact. If apple actually does come out with arm cpu, it could lead to interesting changes in computing world

                                  If this is true, what does that mean for the hackintosh community!

                                        Windows will always remain the first choice of OS on PC platform just like Android is the OS of choice on smartphones.

                                        MacOS simply can't compete.
                                        People want something that just works.
                                        Windows is much superior, flexible, functional than MacOS and satisfies the needs of all level of users.

                                        Unmatchable productivity and creativity unlocked while utilizing full potential of its hardware.
                                        So glad to be part of the premium Ecosystem of Windows 10.
