I hope its a RISC V processor that wins out and not an ARM one. RISC V is more open than ARM Make it happen Apple !

- slezyr 8y ago> Make it happen Apple ! You really expect apple to release something more open?
- detaro 8y agoUnlikely. Apple has tons of ARM expertise now, while RISC-V will still take lots of work to get in the same league, and they aren't so price-sensitive the ARM license costs are a big problem.
- childintime 8y agoApple is performance sensitive though, which matters a few years down the road. RISC-V has some pretty compelling technical advantages in that department: overal simplicity, compressed code density. Now add easy customization and the fact that the open ecosystem will gravitate towards, and it is likely a winner regardless. So after 5-10 years Apple may have to abandon ARM.
