ARM based Macs: It's back to the future in a way
#1
ARM, a variant of RISC architecture like SPARC & Power PC. Leaving Intel's CISC
architecture, like the move from Moto68000 to PPC decades ago.

Ironically, Intel has used RISC within the core of its x86 family since the P6.
Intel x86 Processors – CISC or RISC? Or both??

I suppose we should all thank the folks who worked on DARPA's VLSI Project!!
