Thanks - that’s odd as the entered url seems to work. Not sure what’s happened!

You keep repeating that the Arm isa has toxic or super-toxic IP. Are you implying that it can actively harm users of the Arm ISA or do you just object to anything with proprietary IP?

Just to add my thanks too. I saw Steve Furber do a presentation about the first ARM CPU in 1986, never thought I’d be typing this on an Arm powered device 37 years later.

I think the key test is whether significant features that were seen as problematic in earlier versions have indeed survived. AFAIK almost all were fixed. Patterson and Henessy comment as to how different (better) ARM64 is when compared to p

The ARM64 ISA does not have 20+ years of evolution as it was announced in 2011. It’s essentially a brand new ISA and has cast off almost all of the legacy of previous Arm ISAs.

So you’re arguing that there is some magic secret sauce in the x86 ISA that makes it impossible for an ARM ISA CPU to match high end performance? The answer is no. The question of how to scale them to the level of high end x86 desktop proce

Well the Graviton 3 runs at 2.6 GHz so not sure that really shows 13th-gen Core in a great light.

In a way Inmos’s fate probably saved Arm. SGS Thomson was one of the companies Acorn spoke with when trying to find a home for the Acorn RISC Machine but having already bought Inmos there was no appetite. If they had bought it then the ISA

You jumped in in support of a comment that said Arm is ‘legacy’ tech. You said they don’t ‘even have a viable server core’. They are ‘haemorrhaging’ staff. Softbank have ‘ruined’ them. Sounds more apocalyptic than exaggerated tbh. I still d

I get it that you want RISC-V to succeed - so do I - and to advocate for it but I really don’t understand why it needs this sort of comment about Arm. I see exaggerated criticism of the Arm ISA elsewhere from people who ought to know better

Graviton, M1/M2, Ampere etc but I’m sure you’ll be able to explain why Arm is seen as ‘legacy’ tech when billions of smartphones are being shipped every year with Arm CPUs.

Perhaps unlike some other commenters, I think that a bit of balance to the hype around the whole 'exponential' view that we're in a period of unprecedented change, is reasonable. I do find the quoted link between number of tr

I've previously had a look at IBM Stretch and how they considered and rejected 60 bits. A '6-bit' byte was considered to be important - more so that 8-bit - so having a word a multiple of 6 was seen as an advantage. https:&#
