That's how ARM originated - as a simple, yet fast processor philosophically descended from the 6502. In an alternate universe, ARM could very well have stood for Apple RISC Machine.
- Taniwha 8y agoPete (the guy who's resume this is) may not have been as big a fan of the ARM back then ... he worked on the Newton, built the Hobbit CPU which was canned and replaced by an ARM just after he got working silicon back ....
- JonathonW 8y agoIn a sense, it sort of does-- Apple was involved with ARM fairly early in their lifecycle, collaborating with their design team to build the ARM6 which was ultimately used in the Newton. That's around the same time as Acorn spun out the ARM design team into its own company, and dropped the Acorn out of its name in the process (first became Advanced RISC Machines, Ltd., then just ARM Ltd.).
