This Apple goes ARM is a stupid rumor, it hurts my brain everytime i read it.
Apple has nothing to ever drive the iMacPro and MacPro with ARM. For emulation they would need twice the performance and twice the performance per core to match the highspeed Intel Chips. A13 was no real speed improvement over A12 so they did not show benchmarks. They have hit the limit. ARM is still a factor 10x away from being competitive with Intel on high end Workstations. ARM doesn’t scale, all the server attempts have proven this over and over in the last 15 years. And i’m not even talking about the laughable IO performance of the Apple ARM chipsets. Good enough for a phone but not a workstation or a high end notebook with high end graphics card.

So many crazy conspiracy people without knowledge of fundamental system architecture.
