It's unclear how Apple will proceed with their upcoming MacBook Air/Pro. Will they match today's performance levels or introduce significant changes?
This shift will benefit Apple due to its superior performance and software management. Microsoft lacks the ability to dictate developer actions on its system, which limits its capacity for large-scale changes compared to Apple. This transition is expected to pose significant challenges for Microsoft, Intel, and AMD. How will they respond when their entire sector resists adopting ARM technology while Apple releases laptops with notably longer battery life and reduced heat output?
I disagree with AMD since they are leading in the server market right now. Most new systems people focus on are built around EPYC processors. It's fascinating to observe how things changed—once it wasn't a priority. Simply choosing the quickest Xeon or Gold CPU seems sufficient. Now, seeing demand for the latest Xeon chips is puzzling.
ARM drives the most advanced supercomputers globally. The major names in the tech world will face significant challenges soon—not due to difficult manufacturing, but because of their software.
ARM leads in building some of the world's most advanced public supercomputers. Yet many private systems remain unknown, surpassing ARM’s achievements. This doesn’t mean ARM isn’t quick; the NSA uses custom Intel processors that stay hidden and won’t be shared. Intel and the NSA collaborated to create specialized hardware tailored to their requirements, resulting in massive machines.
