Intel's Cannonlake Chips Allegedly Delayed Until End of 2018

Stop dreaming. Intel is still years ahead, even compared to Apple's latest A11 chip. Don't look at Geekbench scores. There is so much more where a x86 crushes every, even Apple's ARM CPU. Apple must be stupid to think about switching. The would completely lose the professional market that need computing power in order to do real work.

I don't doubt it, but you're comparing a chip designed to sip power from a 1,800mAh battery for 10 hours against chips that have 15, 28, 45W TDPs and are usually paired with a 7,000mAh+ battery, or with a 65W+ TDP and mains power supply of 150W+...

You ha e to start somewhere. ARM powered all day notebooks in a year or two, then see if they can make the difference on x86 over time, especially if more hard math gets pawned off onto the GPU.
