Apple’s new Apple iMac Pro will apparently include an A10 Fusion processor as part of its hardware. The inclusion of the ARM based chip looks like it gives Apple more control over the macOS boot and security process, and allows it to experiment with more control over its operating system.
According to the article on 9to5Mac, another reason for the A10 Fusion is that Apple will have an always-on “Hey Siri” on the iMac Pro. This is confirmed thanks to two software developers who saw the information via the Bridge 2.0 software package from Apple.
