SkyLake is 14nm, Cannonlake 10nm, still a few years till 5nm.
oops, my bad. I was thinking too far ahead ;D

I'm sure Apple is extremely frustrated with Intel's delays as it delays Apple's own release schedule. As usual, Intel is the only game in town for x86 processors, but they're fighting for their lives for mobile chips.
An interesting factiod: according to Geekbench, the latest iPad Air is faster than a 2010 MacBook Air. What does the world look like when ARM chips are faster than x86 chips?

AMD doesn't provide a new architecture.
AMD is x86-64.
What's wrong with Intel? Core 2 was a great leap, i7 and Sandy Bridge offered massive performance and Ivy/Haswell drove down power consumption to much more manageable levels. Broadwell will finally bring it down to fanless levels on some ultra books.
I was talking about ARM.
You get different scores running OS X or Windows on the same computer too.You can't compare the two, they use different applications and OS, have different memory management systems, etc. Literally apples and oranges.
Besides, by switching to ARM and recompiling OSX and applications to run on it, what would we gain exactly?
No, it means that Intel realizes the future is in '2 in 1' products and has essentially abandoned its traditional market to play catchup to ARM.
I've been saying this for a couple years.
Apple's desktop marketing train is hitched to an outside, Intel, engine. And the Intel machine is a poor performer.
Apple will probably switch back to in-house processors within a couple years, though maybe in slow increments which test waters and allow a smoother transition to a completely Apple designed chip that strengthens compatibility between their mobile and desktop hardware.
Not at all. THESE delays tell us that Intel is having a problem with their 14nm process.
The truth is not a problem with the 14nm process, the problem is clearing a massive inventory of 22nm chips which are stockpiled up to the rafters.
Your ignorance is palpable through your offensive call for me to wake up when it is in-fact you who should do such.

Both laptops with 4K displays. The Toshiba? $1,500. Reviews of that are already out and it appears to be shipping. The panels are available, the technology to produce a 4K 15.6" display are available.
Reasons why 4K May happen:
- Apple has significantly improved 4K support in OS X 10.9.3+
- Current 15" Retina models offer a 1920x1200 desktop "4K" retina mode already using scaling
- 15.6" 4K Displays are now available.
It is an opinion piece but I tend to agree with it.Not at all. THESE delays tell us that Intel is having a problem with their 14nm process.

That would mean porting OS X to work on AMD. Just like how Apple did the transition from PowerPC to Intel. That is very unlikely.
I'm almost certain you won't find an Intel exec issuing a press release stating they have huge inventory they can't clear thanks to the PC slump. That'll knock the stuffing out of investors confidence![]()
And they'd lose even more sales if they moved to ARM.
Good try for a pep talk, though.
In which case it's speculation on your part, not "truth".
This is what happens when you have no competition anymore.
Nope not speculation, you will have to take my word for it. If you look through my post history I mentioned about 6 months ago and repeatedly since then that Broadwell chips were not going to ship until Q1/Q2 2015.
Intel is competing against itself, really.This is what happens when you have no competition anymore.
No vision or imagination. Your choice is to sit there and take it a potential loss of hundreds of millions and a ding in decades built reputation of fairly moderate pace of innovation - sitting there picking your nose, waiting on Intel to get it together ..
..that ARM is stuck in development limbo, unable to ever advance or hybridize to overcome the past issue of a teardown to rebiul of OS and software environment forARM and corresponding heat and energy reductions.
Since you're obviosly just tuning in mid show, Innovation is Apples middle name.
What can't Haswell chips currently do for you?
The truth is not a problem with the 14nm process, the problem is clearing a massive inventory of 22nm chips which are stockpiled up to the rafters.
