At least this event will be more interesting to this community. I'm getting really tired of listening to them describe all the new Apple watch features and apps when I'll probably never buy one.
The announcement of a switch to ARM is very unlikely, they'd never do that until they were 100% ready to make the transition. I know an A10 chip could easily work in a Macbook but other than that and possibly a Mac Mini, not much else in the Mac lineup would work well enough to start putting them in the full lineup.

I was having a similar conversation earlier and said the same thing pretty much. The ARM chips may be just good enough to run one of the thin and light portables, but they have a long way to go before they can put them in an iMac or similar. Even if they did, which I think would be madness from a business point of view, they likely won't drop Intel support totally any time soon.

With companies like IBM deploying 1,300 Mac's a week I can't see Apple moving away from Intel CPUs for high end laptops (MBP), iMac or Mac Pro.
I could see Apple migrating the MacBook to ARM to create a a bridge IOS device for people who want a keyboard instead of a touchscreen.

Hopefully the new MacBookPro is not AMD-GPU based and we get mobile Pascal....

Im hoping Apple will add support for newer Nvidia GPUs in there Macs. But who knows until tomorrow. Now the ARM situation i think Apple will most likely put a ARM CPU in there 12inch MacBook but for MacBook Pros, iMacs they will most likely stay with Intel can't see a ARM CPU being more powerful than a Intel i5, i7 CPU.

Pascal support would be good right now. Been eyeing up a 1050Ti here, they look like a sweet spot for a small 'n' quiet build.
