I believe the deprecation of AArch32 is quite an important change and by itself already warrants issuing a new major version (then there's all mandatory extensions from v8.2+ and SVE2).
They have not claimed to bump the major version on a regular basis from now as you seem to suggest.
- icegreentea2 5y agoThat's a reasonable perspective to take. But the A710 still supports AArch32. And they were really close to a traditional re-vamp point anyways =P. This release (of the middle core) would have been then A79. The next release (the one that would actually deprecate AAarch32) would have been A80... and doing weird shit when you reach "10" would just follow in the grand tradition of tech. I think really only Intels somehow just... kept counting up in a more or less sane way.
