source please.
- dry_soup 4y agoI found this [1]. Looks like it's a rumor at this point. [1] https://www.techpowerup.com/298936/report-apple-to-move-a-part-of-its-embedded-cores-to-risc-v-stepping-away-from-arm-isa https://www.techpowerup.com/298936/report-apple-to-move-a-pa...
- dis-sys 4y agoThanks, very interesting. this is definitely the type of rumor that I'd like to follow.
- kergonath 4y agoI am not sure this has been proven (at least within the M1 or M2, I seem to remember RISC-V cores in other places but cannot find a reference right now, so I might be misremembering). I think the parent is overly enthusiastic. What we know is that Apple is hiring people with RISC-V experience. And it would be very off-character if they did not have at least a team somewhere working on it. You can bet that they would jump on it the moment it makes sense for them.
