I'll keep my suspicions to myself next time. Folks are increasingly going to wonder this when there's a short/vague comment that doesn't quite match their understanding of the world. I wouldn't have wondered the same with the additional context you've supplied here, e.g.: > I don't think Apple is only using ARM and their chip for their whole stack, in fact, their servers run something else, and they support software that runs on other OSes wich run plenty of different architectures, including X86_64, and they are exploring a plethora of architectures [1] Now I understand why you suggested it might run on other architectures / OSs. I'm skeptical though. They may develop/run software on Linux/Windows, but I haven't seen any examples of them releasing a development toolchain (e.g. any part of Xcode) for those OSs (with the obvious exception of platform-independent LLVM improvements). Likewise microprocessor-level stuff (afaict everything they do with risc-v).
