- kllrnohj 5y agoWhere do you see these are Apple designed CPUs? There doesn't seem to be anything indicating that, and that would be massive news.
- ganbatekudasai 5y agoErr sorry, I thought we were talking about the Apple M1 as in another comment subthread here, but that wasn't this one actually. But my point still stands I think, isn't this CPU designed by Nvidia, also just with an ARM-licensed ISA? Similarly AMD you mentioned in your list shares its ISA with Intel, and yet the CPUs are completely different.
- Veedrac 5y agoThe CPU is custom but the cores are off-the-shelf Arm cores.
- ganbatekudasai 5y agoAlright, then my point is indeed gone. I misread the author, thinking I was still in another subthread.
