A14T will be roughy 1900+ single-core and 7500+ multicore. I hear that Metal scores may double from A14/A12X into 20k+

Apple Announces November 10 Event, Apple Silicon Macs Expected to Debut

Seems like this will most likely be Mac only. Maybe we will see a spring event with new Apple TV or just a press release.
Can't innovate anymore, my a**!
Seriously - My hat is off to Apple for an inspiring level of progress, innovation, and adaptability this year despite the total sh**storm of events around the pandemic. I‘m amazed they’ve been able to pull off all these great releases with seemingly only minimal delays.

I hope a new MacBook Pro 16, my 2013 15's display is disintegrating
I was hoping for an iPad Mini refresh, but my guess is that we would have seen that at the September event, if that was going to happen this year. With the iPad Air getting the A14, and ARM Macs coming with some variant of Apple Silicon (perhaps even based on the A14), I also figured we'd see an iPad Pro refresh with some variant of the A14. But maybe Apple has moved to the Spring release cycle for the iPad Pros.
At this point I don't think we'll see an updated ATV until next year, but maybe I'm wrong. There isn't much that the current ATV can't do. Seeing as there is no evidence of AirTags in iOS 14.2 RC, I doubt we'll see that this year, similar to any potential new headphones.
tl;dr I bet this event stays Mac focused.

I could see the AirPod Studio holding off so they can sell more AirPods this year and then try to upsell on the Studio next year. AirPod sale prices have been fairly aggressive lately. As for AirTags, it doesn’t make much sense at this event unless they also announce a new Apple TV to make it more than just new Macs. But Apple often likes clarity and focus when revealing something big like this so they might not want to muddy it up. AirTags also seem like a good thing to introduce at a Random spring event.
THIS IS HAPPENING A DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY!! HYPE!!!
Exciting to see what they bring and the benchmarks but as always: avoid 1st Gen apple stuff until they work the bugs out. True for so many products going back over the years...
I feel like I'm being pulled in two directions - I am very interested in seeing this keynote with Apple's first Apple Silicon Mac, but I am waiting at least three years for software I use (scientific computing) to run smoothly on this platform.
Wow. I wasn't expecting this. Please hold me accountable for all the times I jammed it down everyone's throats that the event would be announced on the 10th and held on the 17th 
This is gonna be awesome!!!!
This is gonna be awesome!!!!
Just think, if COVID-19 didn't happen, this could've been part of the iPhone September event, at the end....it is so obvious in hindsight now....
I'm thinking Mac Mini since Apple already put an A SoC in the Mac Mini for developers
It will forever be a tainted mark left on Phil Schiller that he will never live down with Apple fans....
Wow, I am genuinely excited about this. Its also nice to have 3 events 3 months in a row.
Because they require too much power (larger battery).
