A few big problems with the article:

- Comparing the brand new A10 to a 2013-era Intel.

- Asserting iOS for workstations.

While many people could probably get by on iOS, it is particularly crippled for people that need to do technical work. However, I found the idea intriguing, of having a workstation with multiple ARM or Apple chips in it with a proper OS. I know they exist already, but having Apple behind them would make a big difference.

Could you elaborate on the last bit - the fact that such workstations exist already. Can you share any pointers?

I couldn't find much:

and there is Raspberry Pi for micro apps, perhaps they aren't as developed as I'd heard.
