What amazes me is that this is their first shot. Can’t wait to see what happens when they have an M chip for the Mac Pro (the tower, not the laptop). This architecture is a beast.

To be fair, this isn't their first shot at ARM processors, they've been at it for longer than a decade (Apple A4 was launched in early 2010)

The AMD64 "emulation" on the other hand is brand new.

That's the cool thing, they've used their iphone/ipad line to gradually grow this.
