At least some models of the Alpha were bi-endian, selectable via a pin on the package, IIRC. I believe the Cray T3E ran the chips big-endian.
- chasil 3y agoI think MIPS and POWER could also do this.
- my123 3y agoArm (both 32 and 64-bit) supports both BE and LE. Switchable at runtime so that you can have a BE VM on an LE host just fine. Apple Arm chips however are LE only, but all of Arm's Cortex-A/Neoverse and NVIDIA's cores support both LE and BE operation.
