Report: Apple to Move a Part of its Embedded Cores to RISC-V, Stepping Away from Arm ISA

According to Dylan Patel of SemiAnalysis sources, Apple is moving its embedded cores from Arm to RISC-V. In Apple's Silicon designs, there are far more cores than the main ones that power the operating system and end-user applications.

Will be it an RISC-V CPU inside an ARM CPU?

🤯

Anyway who care about Apple but if they think that is feasible maybe other vendors will start to offer more RISC-V computers...

Since this is clearly the next feature we had better to create a unified platform as was made for X86 to avoid the current mess that is ARM.... :flan_think:

AFAICS there will be several RISC-V cores hidden inside M* System-On-Chip that will "look like" hardware devices (Bluetooth, Mouse, Touchscreen etc)

That's what I understand from the cited article. They could hide as much spyware as they want, especially in the Ethernet and WiFi interfaces
