Intel stock is down 7.3% currently.
Well yes, but the whole market is taking a dive today. -500 on the DOW last I checked.

#12Great, we can go back to the macrumors nonsense about how this PPC is "just as fast" as the x86 days. With their focus on iOS vs MacOS, this doesn't surprise me. MacOS will simply die once they port their tools to iOS. Terrible choice IMO.
Except apple has demonstrated they can design cpu’s that outperform the (android) competition. Who is to say they can’t make ARM cpu’s that genuinely outperform intel? Intel hasn’t executed all that well lately anyway.

I don't know where all this conjecture is coming from. Have you seen benchmarks of apple A11 chips? They have some of the best CPU technology in the world now. They are competitive with low end Intel chips already while using significantly less power.
Before they went to Intel, they were at the mercy of Motorola, which couldn't keep up with Intel.

#14Steve Jobs mentioned in interviews what a hell of a job his teams did in the initial change to x86 and the immense work it required.
I wonder what he'd say in this scenario. Not saying "Steve Jobs would have NEVER allowed this apple is going to shit", simply wondering if the effort required to move to x86 should be essentially discarded (depending on the implementation)
Edit: I agree with the replies, they are a good reminder to me of the sunk cost fallacy

#15I think this was inevitable given the insane YoY performance increase we've seen from A-series chips. Anyone want to chime in on why Intel can't get more than 5% YoY while Apple has been getting 30-40%?
Cause they started with atrocious performance?

#16Intel stock is down 7.3% currently.
DJIA and NSDQ are both down about 3% right now so at least half of it is a general slump/profit taking

Starting from a lower base. Now that ARM chips have nearly caught up, they almost certainly won't have the same rate of performance growth.

#19Oh boy, more universal binaries.
What are the odds that Apple will just internalize x86 production, as opposed to doing a A11-style ARM derivative?

Because Apple started from a much lower base.
I will probably surpass Pizza Hut's growth in making pizzas this year.
Last year I made just a few, and only this month already two or three!
