Wasn’t atom still x86 though? Itanium was definitely it’s own bizarre beast but Atom was closer to what would be an efficiency core today.

- Aromasin 3y agoAtom cores are x86, and aren't just close; they're near exactly the same. They use the Gracemont microarchitecture in the Efficiency cores, which is the fourth generation Atom built on Intel 7.
- kadoban 3y agoMy understanding was that Atom was x86 instruction set (or whatever Intel calls amd64?), but its own arch. I very easily could be wrong about that though.
