I think that we should realize that the world does not spin only around iDevices and Apple. In my point of view this is more geared towards larger systems and servers rather than tablets and phones.

Apple could be interested more though if they planned on using ARM-based systems for laptops or small desktops where multi-threading and the such are much more heavily used and based upon.
