It's highly unlikely that Apple has a long-term two-track chip strategy. It's Intel or A-chip.
(Although they'll probably keep a Boot Camp MacBook and Mini in the lineup for the foreseeable future.)

Which makes it really interesting that they released the Mac Pro last December, knowing that June was around the corner.

On the one hand, they can't obsolete a machine that customers have paid $60K for, just six months ago.

On the other, sending a signal that the A-Chip is a 'lesser' solution right upon its introduction is also problematic.

I really want to see how this is handled.
