Apple's Xcode support for quad-core ARM CPU
- runjake 15y agoPossible explanations: - The iPhone 5 will be a quad-core XP processor. - The iPhone 6 will be a quad-core XP processor. - The iPad 3 will be a quad-core XP processor. - The iPad 4 will be a quad-core XP processor. - The next MacBook Air will be a quad-core XP processor. - All or some of the next-generation Apple devices will have a quad-core processor of some sort and Apple is using these in the prototyping stage. I don't think this is particularly telling as much as it's an obvious evolution of Apple's products. Sorry.
- sjwright 15y agoYou forgot a highly likely explanation: - Some engineer somewhere is in the early experimental phase of assessing the quad-core XP processor, before even an ounce of strategic analysis or product design occurs.
- runjake 15y agoYeah, that's what I meant by the "prototyping" bullet. The inclusion of the processor says both nothing and something obvious. It's barely notable.
- Someone 15y agoMore interestng (at least to me): what is the Logic behind that #ifndef __OPEN_SOURCE__? Do they normally preprocess what ends up in the public repository, and should that have been invisible? Is this the way they code stuff that is still experimental? Or is the code within those blocks not open source?
