@steve@discuss.systems @regehr@mastodon.social If they really felt it was a lead anchor around their necks, they would've switched. AMD did a serious push on a high-end ARM core something like 15 years(?) ago, and ultimately decided against continuing it, because they didn't think it was a compelling product. If they'd gotten magic sauce huge wins just from the different ISA, I don't think they'd have canned it.

@rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place @steve@discuss.systems @regehr@mastodon.social that makes sense, but then i'm less clear on apple's motives in switching their desktop parts from x86 to ARM... but i guess in that case they saved money by transitioning from supporting 2 architectures to supporting only 1?
