I don't know how good the support is, but you can already run Linux on Apple Silicon, and the situation is only going to get better as the support improves and the number of mobile, home and server devices using ARM arch increases.I know the performance is excellent, just partly a shame considering these machines now have a 6/7 year lifespan. At least prior to Arm you could install Linux/Windows etc. Unless there is another Arm OS I don’t know about. It’s the only thing stopping me spending a small fortune on a Studio.
For example, there is still a metric ton of feature phones made and sold nowadays around the world, they use very basic/old chips as they require little processing power and they cost very little to make.What processors do the 5% of phones not using ARM have?
For us that have been using Mac for a long time it's more like
68k (Motorola) -> PowerPC (IBM/Motorola) -> Intel -> ARM (Apple Silicon)
Not for the Mac line. The 6502 and variants were the Apple][ and /// chips. The 68000 started with the Lisa.Is it not:
6502 (MOS) -> 68k (Motorola) -> PowerPC (IBM/Motorola) -> Intel -> ARM (Apple Silicon)
iPhone 33 saved!
Speculating here, as I don't know of any specific smartphones that use these. Besides x86, my guess is there are some devices that use a MIPS processor. I think it's largely fallen out of favor, but MIPS used to be hot **** powering the N64, the first few Playstation consoles I believe, and I think even Tesla was using MIPS in their cars for a while.What processors do the 5% of phones not using ARM have?
Come on. USB-IF, all the IEEE standards like 802.11 (wifi) and 802.15 (bluetooth), HEVC, all the ANSI standards like HDMI. The big tech firms agree on plenty.I’m not so sure you could get 6 big tech firms to agree on anything significant having worked with consortiums before.
Having worked on a standards committee, the result is usually so broad to include all desired features to get “agreement” which means just because something complies with the standard means it will work with 2 different devices. Look at USB-C and RS -232 for example.Come on. USB-IF, all the IEEE standards like 802.11 (wifi) and 802.15 (bluetooth), HEVC, all the ANSI standards like HDMI. The big tech firms agree on plenty.
History repeats itself , didn’t arm start with the bbc micro ?
Probably got that wrong 😑
Only a guess, but maybe RISC-V? I read somewhere that Chinese tech companies are starting to embrace that architecture because of the various prohibitions imposed on the country by the "West" (mostly US).What processors do the 5% of phones not using ARM have?

For the Arm IPO, only 95.5 million American depositary shares will be listed for sale. SoftBank will still hold over a billion shares. In other words, SoftBank will control around 90.6% of Arm, so even if American tech companies buy up every single one of the 95.5 million shares, they won't hold enough shares to put through any changes at Arm (unless SoftBank starts dumping shares and their stake in Arm drops below 50% which I don't see happening any time soon)If American tech companies get their hands on ARM via shares and force through management changes, it will be the end of ARM in my opinion.
Well I would have thought Apple would want a controlling amount of shares considering they use a lot of ARM tech in their products.
Wow, I would have bet a lot of money that Apple already had secured much longer-term rights, given their special relationship and strategic investments. Everything else seems kinda risk.
Go spend. Support in Linux is already pretty good and getting better at a rapid clip.I know the performance is excellent, just partly a shame considering these machines now have a 6/7 year lifespan.
