- nojito 6y agoThe "only" ARM aspect of Apple Silicon is the instruction set. Nothing to do with "de-normalizing".
- rrss 6y agoHow so? TSO is a valid implementation of the ARM memory consistency model.
- kilo_bravo_3 6y agoWhich licensee uses ARM branding? You can use examples from any product in any market segment. The Acorn RISC PC doesn’t count because they don’t make that anymore. It has to be a product on the market today. I thought the entire point of ARM is that you license the ISA, add in your own special sauce to make your own thing and then sell it as your own thing. There are ARM architecture systems in the machine room at work. They’re ThunderX2 not “ARM”.
