“The new iPhone 6S beats the new MacBook in single-core performance on Geekbench, and is within spitting distance in multi-core.”

@sgrif What mainstream ARM laptop are you referring to?

-
@sgrif When the MacBook Air first came out, the base model cost $1799. Now it’s $899. The new MacBook will replace it at the price point. -
@sgrif That drop will be accelerated by Apple replacing the more expensive, power hungry, and slower Intel chip with their own ARM chip.

@sgrif For that to happen, Apple needs a version of OS X that runs on ARM…all Mac software will either need to be recompiled or virtualized. -
@sgrif If that happens, as I expect it too soon, that will be an interesting turning point and will have a significant impact on prog langs.
