there's likely no market for PC-comparable ARM64 chips in PC-like devices
<
wens>
PCs are already on the decline
<
wens>
Apple M1 being the outlier, but it's a closed ecosystem
<
wens>
also, GNU Linux doesn't really sell chips :p
<
mps>
wens: yes, arm chips are less power hungry than intel and people moving from desktops to notebooks, not to mention phone market where arm shines

arm roots are in 6502 cpu which was risc like while intel is cisc 'classic'
<
mps>
I can't recall now any 6502 cisc instruction (time is going and memory is fading away)
<
anarsoul>
mps: but 6502 had only 3 general purpose registers, its ISA isn't even close to ARM
<
mps>
anarsoul: right, but it was as base for ACORN cpu and ACORN as base for ARM, this is some kind of 'evolution'
<
mps>
I forgot exact history
<
mps>
iirc 6502 had A and B general purpose registers, where A means accumulator and B auxillary
<
mps>
hmm, I should look again if I could find my old book in garage
<
mps>
Acorn RISC Machine = ARM, later renamed to Advanced RISC Machine = again ARM shorthand

Thankfully ARM has decisively moved away from the RISC idiocy

Lilliput vs Blefuscu
<
psydroid>
it doesn't look like RISC anymore and has decidedly transcended the whole paradigm
<
psydroid>
that's why ARM chips rock and why they are called rockchips
<
mps>
and riscv is cisc ;)
<
mps>
imo, best designed CPU was NC4016 (rtx 2000 is successor) which is FORTH cpu
<
mps>
but all best things are not good things for big and money hungry companies
<
Jmabsd>
mps: why forth cpu good?
<
mps>
Jmabsd: first and foremost efficiency
<
mps>
at 8MHz it can execute 13 million of instructions
<
mps>
it has separate data and return pointer stacks, which is just this year added to gcc and it is software implementation and not hardware
<
mps>
and a lot more, which would be OT here
<
mps>
forth lang is 'problem' because it requires good programmer and strong discipline in programming
<
mps>
forth is used in NASA, JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab), astronomy, Israeli jet fighters and more real-time and critical systems
<
maz>
mps: the 6502 never had a 'B' register. you must be confusing it with the 6809.
<
mps>
maz: right, it have X and Y
<
mps>
long time passed when I worked with it and memory faded away
<
maz>
mps: but these are not general purpose registers. they are index regs.
<
maz>
you can't accumulate to them.
<
mps>
but I forgot most of its architecture details

<
mps>
only what I remember is that it simple and efficient, I designed industrial computer with it long ago
<
mps>
iirc first apple computer also used it
<
maz>
simple, efficient, and buggy. what's not to love! ;-)
<
maz>
a pretty accurate description of most ARM CPUs, btw!
<
mps>
well, there is cpu without bugs in this world :)
