Apple to switch Mac lineup to its own chips

Good thing Apple’s A12Z has single-core performance that’s on par with relatively recent Intel chipsets, then. The chip going out in the dev transition units is the same one they use in the latest iPad Pro, and benchmarks for its performance in comparison to the rest of the Mac product line aren’t hard to come by. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take advantage of the larger power and thermal envelope of a laptop or desktop to really crank up what the A13 series is capable of in the Mac lineup.
