I believe they had a big hand in ARM64. Though best reference I can find right now is this very site: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31368489 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31368489
- happymellon 2y agoOh, I was just wanting to clarify the "Apple co-founded". They had the Newton project, found ARM did a better job than the other options, but there were a few missing pieces. They funded the spun out project so they could throw ARM a few new requirements for the CPU design. As a "cofounder" of ARM, they didn't contribute technical experience and the architecture did already exist.
- steeeeeve 2y agoSigh. Newton. So far ahead of it's time.
