Consumer benefit? Who gives a fetid dingo's kidneys?

The only folks that matter here are the vendors. The fact that "It's been estimated that Apple's slow-motion abandonment of Intel silicon [...] could cost Intel about [...] 4 per cent of its revenue" is mentioned of course, but not the cost to the user. The whole idea is that you'll have to scrap all your applications and buy new versions from Apple.
