Some might argue that Apple's usage of it makes more sense. M-series for Macs and they are just incrementing numerically.
Meanwhile Arm Cortex is semi-random, sometimes incrementing (M0,M1) sometimes with a "+" designation (M0+) and then just seemingly random jumps up to non-sequential double digits (M23,M35,M52 with or without a P designation. Its like "come on guys, make your mind up".
- DoingIsLearning 3y agoARM at least has a clear reasoning for the letters: M (Microcontroller), R (Real-time), and A (Application) core profiles.
- oblio 3y agoWhat kind of logic is that? Politeness, if not trademarks, should have prevented them from doing it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-M#Cortex-M3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-M#Cortex-M3 - 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M3 - 2023. > Some might argue that Apple's usage of it makes more sense. M-series for Macs and they are just incrementing numerically. By this logic if you name a project Y but I can argue my naming of a much newer project Y is "more logical", you should abandon Y? Chronology matters :-)
- fransje26 3y agoLinus Torvalds' take on how much sense the ARM nomenclature makes. A funny read. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/15/133 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/15/133
