A lot has changed with Windows on ARM What a difference a year makes. But the real story is how much has changed for Windows on ARM app support over the past year. I concluded my review of the original Pro X wishing that it had an Intel chip inside. This year, I’m not so sure it needs an Intel chip anymore.

The key trends in telecoms will continue to be Open RAN, private Networks, MEC, AI/ML and customer experiences through hyper personalization. This low latency can be enabled by the network (by bringing network functions closer to the end users) or through faster computation (by introducing accelerators such as GPU, FPGA or special ASICs).

But are Apple’s ARM chips actually powerful enough now to replace the likes of Intel and AMD? Perhaps the iPad Pro’s A12Z Bionic would make for a more powerful MacBook than Intel’s current low-power laptop chips, but Apple isn’t saying so; maybe it’ll take a later chip in Apple’s roadmap. a handful of canned demos and vague promises.

First off, I have to issue something of a correction regarding last week's blog post on Intel price cuts. As it turns out, I have been informed that Intel didn't cut the prices, Micro Center cut them as a loss leader, something it frequently does. It doesn't change the bargain prices, just the motivation.
