shac ron ₪Ten years ago today #Apple launched the #iPhone 5S and announced the #arm64 CPU inside. It was the first public disclosure of a 64-bit ARM architecture, and it was available for you to buy in a phone. Nobody else was even close to having a chip ready to tape out, much less put in a product, and it was a performance monster.
amarioguy@shac I still remember that announcement lol, Alcatraz (and the Cyclone family of cores lol) really set a lot of fun things in motion
I still remember how *almost* no one was able to gain introspection into SEP until 2016 or so when more of the mitigations started to get in, it's definitely one of the best parts about that SoC and one that continues to get better lol
