I'm also not sure why I'm excited about ARM64 hardware as well. At least it's partly because in the imbedded world ARM operating systems are prevalent.
Also, it's clear Intel rested on their laurels and resisted real innovation for a long time. Now with heavy hitters entering the field (Apple, Amazon, etc), hopefully we see some real innovation in this silicon space.
What I'd like to see is SoCs with accelerated AI chips, similar to what's in the recent iPhones. If that type of hardware becomes widely available on the macs we almost all of us in SV develop on, then the libraries will follow.
- UhDev 6y agoAlmost all develop on? lol!

That's far, far closer to 33% per major platform than I thought possible. (all possible apologies to the BSD demons out there, we love y'all and I wish it were more like 25% per major platform, all 4 of them)
- saagarjha 6y agoIn the embedded wold you're usually looking at ARMv6-M or some other microcontroller version, and they're likely running some stripped-down minimal OS.
- repiret 6y agoThere’s lots of ARMv7-A/R and v8-A and similar CPUs of other architectures in the embedded world. There’s a lot more to embedded than Cortex-M style microcontrollers.
