The specs of the 8500 and 8500B look to be identical in terms of TDP and frequency so does it really matter?
When you issue a reply stating you have the “proper compare” then yes.

New iPad scoring very close to 15” MBP in benchmarks
Yep OS XI will be out in 12-18 months running on the A13/X so they can put that processing power to use rather then wasting it in an ipad.
But Xcode isn’t available for iOS yet? macOS won’t be going anywhere. And if Apple can do magical things with it coupled with the A chips, maybe it won’t be the death knell many fear.
I was just thinking today about a mac air type laptop running on an A series chip with an OLED screen and all the bells and whistles that brings with it.
Imagine the battery life!
Where did intel go wrong?

3MB cache, mostly useless hyperthreading, 200Mhz on the base clock (<7%), 500Mhz on the mostly unachievable boost clocks (<15%). For a 57% premium on the base price.
Not what I'd call significantly quicker for general use, or good value. It's worth noting the difference in Intel headline prices is $111, which translates to £150 from Apple. Maybe worth it if you're running a video rendering farm.
I was talking about the Air, not the Mini, but it may or may not be the same. Does the Y even have an i7 version?
It's suggesting that the new Air may sip battery like the MacBook, but potentially have the same power as the Pro due to it's active cooling.
That’s the same price I paid for mine at launch in June 2017...

I can't see it happening myself, that said, I wouldn't be surprised to see their chips replacing Intel at some point in the future.
