A Dutch website has done some digging through the kernel is Sierra and have made a discovery. Apple seem to be adding support for a new processor family called "Arm Hurricane", it's suggested that this is Apples new A10 as A7 was Cyclone, A8 was Typhoon and A9 was Twister.

Wonder what this will mean for Customacs going forward?

Thoughts?
 
It's hard to know what to believe at this point with so many conflicting articles out there. I just read one a few days back saying NVIDIA was working with Apple again and was hiring engineers for the position. In my opinion Apple can't be happy about seeing Hackintosh systems for 1/3 to 1/2 of their prices that can also out perform their offerings. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they go ARM in order to lock things down even more. Just remember, Apple loves proprietary!
