We know that x86 does not scale down, for low power applications, as well as ARM. There is a reason that almost all embedded systems and phones and tablets run ARM, not x86.  
 
We (as the public) do not know how well an ARM cpu scale up towards high power application. 
 
x86 has been RISC at it's core since pentium pro, but has a bunch of translation layers built in because of legacy crap. Take away the middle man (the translation layers) and you end up with a more efficient design. That is my hope with a switch to ARM. And if anyone will be able to pioneer ARM for desktops it will be Apple. If they succeed I'll bet we will start to see a movement away from x86 in everything that isn't special applications. 
 
As I said in my previous post, I've been a strong believer in ARM for the last 10 years. During the last 3-4 years it has actually started to look like we are realistically close to actually being able to switch the CPU architecture for a lot of the tasks you need in a desktop/laptop workstation.  

Perhaps in spirit? But in a literal sense, the company has never been more successful since he died. 

I see this being brought up a lot in this case but I can't actually see the problem (as this is the internet I'm sure someone will educate me on this pretty soon). 
 
Also currently Apple does not make all the components in their computers anyway so it actually won't become a vertical monopoly just because they switch to their own ARM processors. 
 
From my perspective this is rather a good thing. 
 
To make a car analogy: The current state of personal computers is like if the only engine manufacturers in the world, for cars, would be Toyota and Volkswagen. For any car enthusiast this fortunately isn't the case, most still applaud brands that make their own thing (or at least try to) in house (Subaru, Honda, Tesla, Mazda (to some degree) etc and Koenigsegg, Ferrarri etc on the more exclusive side).
 
 
But in the PC world, as soon as there are rumors about Apple making their own CPU, people start to scream "vertical monopoly bad!" until their faces turn red.
 
The thing that is bad for real is the current oligopoly with Intel and AMD, which for long swats of time being basically a monopoly for Intel for the most crucial component in a computer.
 
Most people aren't really worried about Apples "vertical monopoly", they just don't like Apple and that is OK, people just don't need be as obnoxious about it, as they claim Apple fanboys are about Apple.    
 

only watch apps require it. (they already used this to server side covert watch apps from 32bit to 64bit without devs even beeing told) you can submit without bytecode for ios and macos. 
 
yer most apps will go to arm with just a recompile in the new xcode! 

Success and greatness are not the same thing.
 
That's unfair. Apple have many faults but the one thing you cannot accuse them of is bad engineering. In fact the opposite is true, they usually over design & over engineer everything. Form over function as they say.

In other words, you have nothing left to argue so you are just going to repeat yourself until someone says your right.   Not going to happen, 3rd party apps are not features no matter how much you want them to be.

At least he played the game and judged it for himself & for what it is instead whining for months before the game was even shown. That I can respect.

Now unless he's not a person who keeps up with video games I can understand that; but if he's a self confessed gaming enthusiast then shame on him.

I feel that the setting shouldn't matter and the game should be good

After years and years off people whining "omg why are they doing this OUTRAGE" and then them going and buying the game I doubt the setting would have mattered one bit. People love to be pretentious on the internet.

Call of Duty is still going to sell a shit tonne (even break records) regardless of the outrage towards it. Anyone remember the whole MW2 and no dedicated servers fiasco?

Also there's only so many settings you can have a game with guns and shooting and considering they have to release games every couple of years, it's kinda naive and shallow to say things like "futuristic crap" considering in 5-6 years you'll be saying "that old crap gimme future stuff".

Lol so many of you "why do we need x? doesn't make sense!"

i wonder what would have happened if maxwell thought electromagnetic induction was just a neat magic trick

I reckon nvidia engineers know what they're doing

Also "zero" latency is being taken literally here .. what they probably mean is less than 0.5ms latency (which was already achievable)

Also Quantum entanglement doesn't mean ftl communication because that would violate causality .. if anyone mentions anything regarding ftl travel and quantum entanglement, assume they know very little about what they're talking about, because they don't

Again, you're taking it too literally and criticizing them for something so trivial .. here they are and they made a huge accomplishments and here we are saying "that's not what they meant, WRONG FALSE"
