I wonder if we could see more mixed architecture like T2. What would it look like if you had x86 and ARM on board?

- scarface74 7y agoApple won’t do it. There are so many architectural issues with it and you don’t get the power savings of ARM. People asked the same question during both previous transitions.
- saagarjha 7y agoNote that Apple is currently doing this.
- scarface74 7y agoSaying that Apple will do this because they are using a coprocessor is like saying Apple was going to run Mac software on 65C02 because the IIFx included two 65C02 processors. But during the PPC transition, you could buy a PPC daughter card for 68040 Macs to run PPC software but you couldn’t use them simultaneously.
