They're at the lower end of Apple's pricing, but Apple isn't the market. If we step out into reality for a second, you'll see that these are priced pretty far from the low end.
Got a tip for us?

Tim always his mouth open. Like there’s a little non-stop “urrrrrrreeee...” sound coming out of his mouth.
“So exciting...”

mid we consider the server market, for which Intel cannot keep up with orders that’s revenue not yet accrued or recognized as revenue until shipped. Unsure of any penalties but the longer this delay in fulfilling orders continues the quicker AMD or other competition maybe able to pickup the slack (potentially). Also as the industry progress, be it RISC-V chips or similar there maybe a significant shift. Heat energy of x86-64 & the cost of cooler server rooms vs the performance gained can be significant enough to warrant the change to a new architecture entirely.
btw I was simply fan joking about Intel stock based on fanboyism smarty-pants nonsense.
I wasn’t serious.
not an assumption. Watch the event again: the MBA and MacMini were both presented where their respective presenters specifically mentioned which apps can benefit from the machineLearning chip.
Intel based machines also didn’t get any initial redesign either for at least 1 yr af te r full product offerings completed the heart transplant.
Validation is a multi-year process. Tim will get bored (just like Steve) before a validation process could be completed.mid we consider the server market, for which Intel cannot keep up with orders that’s revenue not yet accrued or recognized as revenue until shipped.

AMD won't get anything major in the near future - their chips are still going through the validation process. A LOT of companies have pushed that off for another year, due to the present health issues. Heat & the cost of server rooms won't matter, if 1 AMD Epyc system replaces between 3 and 4 Intel server systems.
According to the server folks I have heard from, current server software will stay on Intel for the lifecycle of the software; new projects will be started on AMD after the validation process.
You don't jump mission critical software systems (which would need to be recoded) to new hardware just because you can. This is why we have OO-Cobol in 2020.
interesting.
I'm sure those with the resources and skills DO get to code mission critical software systems to new hardware IF the potential is rising and there - as a fallback and remain in BETA or development not to be launched into production. That said we ALL saw how quickly (in server lifespan timeline) we saw Linux go from Fedora Core 2 to Suse and running full production for all of Germany's government systems once all the kernal and software became viable. From 2000 to 2014 (well maybe 2/3 server lifespans yet probably only 2 cpu sockets for Intel server motherboards) ... Germany shocked Microsoft and Balmer more than enough to get their attention.
nothing remains stagnant forever.
Cobol ? I don't know if it was EVER object oriented but Cobol has been around longer than I am ... my mother learned to code Cobol back in 1977.
