Tier-1 support for ARMv8 is a great thing, I hope using it for Raspberry Pi or similar single-board computer.

- KozmoNau7 6y agoI hope that ARM[1] can become a real challenger to the x86-dominated server/desktop/laptop space, maybe even give us a bit of that vibrant environment of multiple competing platforms that existed in the 80s and 90s. Perhaps it's just my nostalgia speaking, but I always found it neat how there were x86 daughterboards for Macs and Amigas, and various other similar setups. A full Ryzen APU-powered PC with good graphics performance can easily fit on a PCIe card, which could slot neatly into a hypothetical ARM-powered PC, with access to the mainboard's resources. Use the ARM main PC for desktop and other less intensive tasks, and fire up the full-fat x86 daughterboard for gaming and number-crunching. Or maybe it would be a lot more elegant to just have good power management on an already powerful ARM CPU and GPU and handle what x86 stuff you need via emulation, but full-computer daughterboards are just so neat! [1] Or even better, RISC-V.
