Apple A15 Bionic Will Use ARMv9, Probably!

Arm has introduced the Armv9 architecture, the first new Arm architecture in a decade. MediaTek has announced that the Armv9 architecture will play a big role for its next-generation of Dimensity processors. But what about Apple? Will it jump to Armv9?

Haha, I can just picture the top Apple guys standing around saying "right, Gary's new video is out, let's see what we have to work with"!

you have so much knowledge and its sometimes hard for people who are not into this stuff to follow you i think animations would help you and this channel alot although its already really great!

Would love a video on ARMv9's SystemReady and what it means for the industry.

From updates to Android on devices that are no longer supported by their vendors, custom phone images, generic Windows and Linux images for ARM based computers. Of everything they announced, this is the most exciting for me.

Going from 32 bits to 64 bits feels like a much bigger change than whatever Armv9 has compared to Armv8. I'd feel safe that the M1 chip will be supported for years to come.

Finally, arm will reveal a much needed successor to the A55.

How do the core's do the shifting between each other, is there logic for that in the core's, or is that function done by a peice of hardware?

Great video. Watched it several times already.

Sorry I'm still new to this level of tech understanding. Do you think the exynos 2200 or the 2300(2022) will have this or is this completely separate from AMD?

[MarkDavidMcCoskey]

I hope to see these ARMv9 CPU's show up in SBC's. Desktop Replacements for the masses. 👍

Apple using ARMv9 is just a matter of time. But whether it's in A15 or later really comes down to how much lead time Apple needs to implement architectural changes. A15 seems like an aggressive timeline to me. Apple is already a full generation, and you might argue two gens, ahead. Rushing to use ARMv9 might not make sense.

I really miss my Arm 3 Archimedes! It’s taken a while but they are almost back to being competitive processors for desktops.

Hey Gary. When do you think processors will start supporting the new VVC H.266 compression codec?
Do you think that the next gen ones will support it?
I would like to see a video about it from you. Thanks.

[Ginko]

Thank you,
so informative as always.

[PietervandenHombergh]

with all these extra instruction features, how about the power efficiency? that has always the winning feature.

[natjes]

I´m no techgeek, but I just like watching/listening to your channel and being able to actually grasp some bits of usable information.

[jamesleetrigg]

Hasn’t the M1 got some instructions for AI added already on the cpu, could that be part of the arm v9 instruction set?

[avejst]

Great video as always 👍😀
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with all of us 👍😀

[yaghiyahbrenner]

Very interesting news, good video Gary.

[johnsimon]

Wwdc is in a few months, we’ll see if Xcode/LLVM has an armv9 Target.

[ashishpatel]

qcom did that acquisition at the ideal time...
