More likely, being able to use a new architecture that isn’t burdened with decades of legacy compatibility works better than an architecture that is burdened with decades of backward compatibility.
- acdha 5y agoARM isn’t new and hasn’t been a performance champ for most of the decades it’s been around. The other ARM server implementations tended to be slower but better at perf/watt or perf/dollar — Apple changed that with absolute performance wins as well. That suggests that it’s more the execution by their team than an innate architectural advantage, esophagus given how many other cleaner architectures were wiped out by x86.
