Stop panicking about Apple's rumored switch from Intel to its own chips in the Mac: "A lot has been made about Apple's possible shift to the A-series processor in the Mac starting in 2020 —but this isn't the first time that Apple has convinced a generation to change hardware architectures."

Let's have AMD cpus for dinner instead.

Apple is actively working on Macs that replace Intel CPUs | Ars Technica: "A new Bloomberg report claims Apple is working on its own CPUs for the Mac, with the intent to ultimately replace the Intel chips in its computers with those it designs in-house."

Lucky for me, my code already runs on more than one processor architecture. ARM32, ARM64, x86, x86-64. Let's call it a tale of two architectures and two widths.

AMD muscles in on Xeon’s turf as it unveils Epyc | Ars Technica: "AUSTIN—Today, AMD unveiled the first generation of Epyc, its new range of server processors built around its Zen architecture. Processors will range from the Epyc 7251—an eight-core, 16-thread chip running at 2.1 to 2.9GHz in a 120W power envelope—up to the Epyc 7601: a 32-core, 64-thread monster running at 2.2 to 3.2GHz, with a 180W design power."

Don't mess with Texas!
