That way, when the “transition” happens, the low-end Mac never has something the high-end Mac doesn’t. They’d both have the same T-series chip; the Pro models would just also have Intel chips for a little while longer, for workloads that still required them.

Maybe. That might even be a transition that would work with my current job, which is heavily (but decreasingly) Windows-focused.
(There’s definitely open questions, though. Do they get separate RAM? If not, how does that work? Is the T3 also the memory controller?)
