Im too dumb to know why?
Why have both to run native arm64 code? Nearly anything you'd want is cross compiled/compilable (save some macOS stuff but that's more than just CPU architecture).
My understanding is that ARM chips can be more efficient? Hence them being used in phones etc.
I guess it would let you run android stuff "natively"?
Or perhaps you imagine running Blender in x64 mode and discord in the low wattage ARM chip?
- heavyset_go 1y agoI imagine running ARM code on ARM cores would be more efficient than running them on x86 with or without compatibility extensions, and vice versa. Instead of always playing catch-up platform-wise for compatibility, just embed the ISA platforms into the chips themselves. As for why: because I'm not abandoning x86 any time soon and this would ease ARM transition. I also think it would set a foundation for hardware-based secure virtualization across platforms.
