I meant specifically, besides rewriting the instruction decode unit, and maybe tweaking the memory access to meet some technicalities, what would be involved to taking the M1 and making it support a different instruction set.
- snvzz 5y agoNot really worth pondering. Apple has enough funds to do it just as an experiment, without much care about cost.
- dehrmann 5y agoThat has very little to do with Apple. What you're really asking is how hard would it be to add support to a CPU for a second instruction set.
- Pet_Ant 5y agoWell, Apple was only an example of a company with the money and perhaps the inclination to do so. But no, it isn't really an Apple specific question.
