Hopefully Apple will go back to being a integrated hardware and software company.

It makes absolute sense to me for a future MacBook Pro to have a great AMD/Intel CPU and one of their high performance A13X chips with neural accelerators to accelerating specifics tasks to improve performance and battery life.

I'm thinking audio/video encoding in FCPX, neural AI assisted tracking, color matching, face detection, ProRes acceleration, H264/H265 acceleration.

Would make the price tag of a new MacBook pro much more palatable for FCPX/Logic X users anyway.
