It like comments that Rosetta 2 will only be supported for 2 years then it will be gone, again all based on Apple's PPC history. Again this is the same PPC to x86 arguments. The problem with that is Apple at already moving beyond being stuck to the past.Īs far as abandoning intel based Macs and stopping MacOS updates that run on dual processor platforms. This sounds like the same old complaining that Apple abandoned NVidia/Open GL from Hackatosh users or parties that still use old Mac OS sytem versions. In the same way, not every Intel Mac will be replaced by an Apple Silicon Mac by 2023 either.Ĭlick to expand.All very pessimistic comments. From a revenue generating perspective it makes FAR more sense for Activision-Blizzard to release Diablo IV on PS4/Xbox One than Mac, let alone the Apple Silicon variety.Īctivision-Blizzard has their own forecast on next-gen console adoption and the falloff of legacy console usage but for sure it's not like every single PS4 will be replaced by a PS5 by 2023.

Activision-Blizzard isn't going to throw away or trade that market for a hundred thousand Apple Silicon Macs. One thing for sure, there are over 100 million PS4 units out there they will be there for years. For sure there were prototype Apple Silicon Macs running macOS on A11 (or a variant) in a lab somewhere in Cupertino, California. The writing was on the wall that day.īy 2017 the A11 SoC on iPhone was an ARM big.LITTLE CPU with Apple's homegrown GPU.

The rest of the semiconductor industry was dumbfounded and speechless. They aren't that naive this isn't their first rodeo.Īrm Macs have been rumored for years, ever since Apple released the 64-bit A7 SoC for iPhone in 2013. You make it sound like Blizzard is being caught off guard.
