How on earth is moving to a the ARM architecture not pushing computing forward?
macOS moving to ARM is the biggest leap for developers in recent years - Amazon are also developing their own ARM chips and cloud services running linux ARM is the future.
Having a mac with a unix-like terminal environment & support to run linux arm natively when devloping for those services is a huge deal.
- lbotos 6y agoThis is not the ARM thread, This is the UI thread. Nothing about the UI is predicated on ARM.
- sudosysgen 6y agoFirst of all, this off topic. Next, it's simply wrong, there is no ARM processor better than the best x86 processor in any category except insanely low power. All comparisons I've seen so far compare tiny mobile processors with huge server processes with orders of magnitude more I/O per watt. When you compare phone chips with Zen 2 low-power laptop chips and take into account the massive I/O disparity it's much less favourable.
