iMac Pro Appears to Include A10 Fusion Chip for Always-On ‘Hey Siri’

Please stop saying that Apple is secretly recording your conversations for nefarious purposes with Hey Siri. It’s been around for 2 years and there has been nothing world-ending found about the feature.<p>A reminder about how Hey Siri privacy works: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;11&#x2F;apple-addresses-privacy-questions-about-hey-siri-and-live-photo-features&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;11&#x2F;apple-addresses-privacy-qu...</a><p>&gt; In no case is the device recording what the user says or sending that information to Apple before the feature is triggered,” says Apple.<p>&gt; Instead, audio from the microphone is continuously compared against the model, or pattern, of your personal way of saying ‘Hey Siri’ that you recorded during setup of the feature. Hey Siri requires a match to both the ‘general’ Hey Siri model (how your iPhone thinks the words sound) and the ‘personalized’ model of how you say it. This is to prevent other people’s voices from triggering your phone’s Hey Siri feature by accident.<p>&gt; Until that match happens, no audio is ever sent off of your iPhone. All of that listening and processing happens locally.

This is huge. While it starts with just powering things like boot security and Hey Siri, I guarantee you this is the first step toward Apple getting rid of Intel on the Mac.<p>How much longer before they release MB&#x2F;MBPs with the same chip, doing the same thing? How much longer after that before we see SDKs released for writings apps that run on Mac, but are completely executed within the ARM processor? I think this is coming far sooner than many people think.

Will be interesting to see if native iOS apps will be able to run for development or regular use. This is a good sign for the convergence of the Mac and &quot;i&quot; products.<p>For fun here&#x27;s the &quot;transitions&quot; talk Steve Jobs gave announcing the switch from PowerPC to Intel processors. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ghdTqnYnFyg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ghdTqnYnFyg</a>

Having an embedded iOS computer take over most &quot;firmware&quot; features would definitely simplify things for Apple. The strings found that hint at the A10 being in charge make it sound like this could possibly even solve the Intel ME issues, if the iOS part absorbs roles traditionally given to the Intel chipset.

Steven Sinofsky had an interesting tweetstorm throwing a bit of cold water on the notion that this was a sign that Macs were moving to ARM.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;stevesi&#x2F;status&#x2F;932116692620079104" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;stevesi&#x2F;status&#x2F;932116692620079104</a>

I wonder if macOS will be able to run userspace code on this. Apple&#x27;s ARM chips are pretty fast, so this could be extra 50% of computing power for the iMac.<p>From software side they&#x27;ve already done similar things in the past (fat binaries, Rosetta).

I&#x27;m worried this is going to be some kind of TouchBar-and-Siri type useless gimmick instead of something that genuinely makes this a good useful machine.

The last thing I want is to talk to my turned off computer... Comedy sketches of the past are becoming reality, and will be propelled by &quot;Apple can&#x27;t do no wrong&quot; crowd.

I wonder if it&#x27;ll shut off if, like me, you turn off Siri.<p>I&#x27;m glad they&#x27;re trying this first in Macs that&#x27;re expected to always be plugged in, rather than laptops.

Could handle Face ID, etc. Possibly offload video encoding&#x2F;transcoding? The A10 can handle 4K HEVC. Not sure what the point would be with dedicated graphics doing the same.

Makes perfect sense for them to do this for Siri and Security. Otherwise they&#x27;d end up with two separate implementations.

Crazy how HN flips out over the Intel ME then turns around and applauds this.

Apple did it before and they will succeed again. Fat binaries.

Always-on Siri is a very creepy feature, and who even needs it in a &quot;Pro&quot; workstation?

&gt;the chip will enable support for &quot;Hey Siri&quot; functionality, potentially even when the iMac Pro is turned off.<p>Intel ME wasn&#x27;t bad enough... so Apple builds a second backdoor you can&#x27;t remove, with the explicit purpose of bugging your room?<p>No thanks.

Mac development has lost some momentum, so maybe unique hardware help push things forward. On the other hand, the ever-controversial touchbar was unique hardware.
