Apple broke the graphics mold years ago on iPads (iPad pro has been
performing better than most laptops (of the same year) for at least 2
years. Once Apple stop supporting intel based Macs (5 - 7 years), then
they will be free of everything except peripheral i/o concerns (external
storage, printers, other devices). Those will become more and more
wireless as well.
Apple will have absolutely no issue outfitting the entire line of Macs
with new processors that outperform most if not all intel/AMD based x86
designs. When it comes to desktop (Mini, iMac, Pro) they will be pretty
much unconstrained power wise and can simply throw cores at it until the
cows come home...
And by the time 18 months rolls around, they'll be announcing the fresh
round to replace M1 in the MBA and lower end MBP and mini...
I don't understand your obsession with trying (badly) to pick holes in
what Apple are doing. Is it because you just wasted $400 on updating
your old Mac Pro?
(Full disclosure: I will be updating this iMac very soon with an SSD as
a "life extension" project. Also repairing the tilt stand while I'm in
there... too bad the SSD won't be here this weekend).
The only losers in all this is the small "hackintosh" community. But
they knew this was coming some day.
