   ideally i would like Arm to make a better core than oryon and make it available to soc vendors like rockchip, mediatek, nxp, ti etc

     @min1123 ok, so you mean it's not a big deal but ARM just wasn't interested in maximum performance for laptop/desktop usecases?

     @mntmn ARM maintains the ISA, but they have two license models.

     The cheaper one gives a company access to particular predefined cores and other components to use in their chips. These interchangeable blocks have forced the blocks to be low-wattage jack-of-all-trades.

     The architecture license means the produced chips have to conform to the ISA, but the ISA -> uOPs can be completely custom. Apple left out all 32-bit ISA, and added custom accelerators and tuning. Same engineers.
