I'm not going to be a dum $ss and jump on this band wagon right away
Apple has always inflated their performance figures.
remember the G5 Mac Pro's VS INTEL
you people really hate Intel don't you.
Divided nation. Divided geeks I guess
I'm sticking with Intel and AMD until I see some true performance Killing and Intel CPU's like they claim.

Nope, RAM seems to be integrated into the SoC now and is no longer a discrete part
Yeah, it really is a four core CPU since as you mentioned, those other four cores won’t be used for intensive applications, unless of course it can use AI to intelligently hand out different application processes/instructions on-the-fly to different cores.
if true i rather spend on mac mini last intel version. 16 gb is survive but 32 gb the best for my development. i still using base line 2017 with no hassle but if big project commin' let see
I seem to be one of the few that sees this as a massive step forward with great offerings. I think when the 16"is switched over I will sell my nearly year old 16" for the AS version. Apple is setting the pace. I cant see any PC laptop being able to compare...plus the PCs run windows. That already is a major minus. Anyway, good job Apple. (I am not a blind fan just lived in the PC world since 1980... I had enough of that confused jumble when I switched in 2013)
I don't think you understand how Apple Silicon Works.
You can run full Photoshop on a 4gb iPad Air.
What do you think an M1 chip with 8gb RAM will be like.
So you're calling people dumb asses for buying the first Intel Mac. That's rich. 🙄
That is the high-end Intel version that they still sell. Apple only updated the low-end 13" MBP.
My guess is the higher range MBPs (4 ports) will get the M2 (or M1+ or whatever) next year, with larger amounts of RAM and multiple display support
If Intel was the only player in the market, I wouldn't have felt so much let down with Macbook Air. But the thing is Intel isn't the only player in the town anymore.
Now days You could get a thin & light with a Ryzen 4700U, 16 GB RAMs & 512 GB SSD at around $700. And you can replace the SSD. They also come with one extra slots & user replaceable RAM. Yeah Windows & Build quality can be a letdown for the others, but not for the majority whom Apple is targeting with this. I just hope it performs well.

Wifi 6 is nice. Now apple has to make a router. PLEASE!!!!
I think it's pretty self explanatory. Pros that rely on Windows VM's may need a slower transition than the rest of the computing world that uses computers for more basic tasks. Besides Apple did state that the ARM transition will be over a 2 year period.
There should be one, the 16" was in the lineup in the photo behind the presenter.
Perhaps refer to yourself a "knowledge worker" or an "activist", and invest in a wardrobe of ironic paisley button-downs. 🤷♂️
I think the router project for Apple is dead. Netgear is killing with the Orbi right now.
Anyone know the name of the music they streamed before the event started?
You're looking at this wrong.
These chips will outperform the old ones by light years.
