This makes sense. Most of the Jetson/Xavier/Nano boards already use a Carmel ARMv8 chip. I just hope this spurs more development in ARMv8. Currently the majority of ARM is ARMv7 (smartphones and Raspi).
- zamadatix 6y agoI think it's more about having CPU IP more than what CPU IP they have used in Jetson/Xavier to this point (though it is a helping factor). HPC also loves ARM these days and nvidia makes huge cash on that already. Smartphones have largely been ARMv8 for the last 5 years. Raspberry Pi is as well these days.
- csdreamer7 6y agoRaspberry Pi 4 uses ARMv8 according to Wikipedia: the ARM Cortex-A72. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Processor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Processor
- fulafel 6y agoPi 3 and the V1.2 revision of the Pi 2 were ARMv8 too (Cortex-A53). edit: also re smartphones, Android SoCs started to move to v8 CPU cores 5 years ago, in the Nexus 5X/Pixel 1 generation.
