Besides, Apple just pissed off the entire software industry. Assume you are Adobe or Abelton and now have to spend serious money to very quickly port your software to arm64 without getting any new sales.
Most likely Apple has a contract with Intel for some kind of deal on the price, so switching to AMD would incur a round of lawyers and negotiations to get a similar price. That doesn't come for free, so if they had other plans in the works, it would make sense to move faster rather than try and do something for a short period of time.
Adobe's job is to do their part and make software. With this switch, Apple is giving Adobe higher quality hardware to work with. And Apple is providing emulation layer for free.
Yeah must be an absolutely a great deal for Adobe...you know Adobe is not just the CreativeSuite.
>higher quality hardware
Lets see about that...
