You forget the enterprise usage for Windows. Even Incremental gain is huge. With x86 emulation it definitely is a huge threat for apple.

Though I am happy Apple did it first. Competition is great for consumers. We'd never have gotten a decent ARM PC if Apple didn't rattle Microsoft's cage.

what's the obsession with ARM? it's just cool right now because Apple did it. But amd64 is just fine.

Less battery usage, no need for fans for the same or better performance... ARM is a solid upgrade to PC architecture.
