‪obviously that mandate was not for phones with lots of RAM. they said they'd mandate only supporting 32-bit specifically on brand-new 64-bit low-memory phones. to reduce the number of configurations they had to worry about.‬

‪i do not know if they went ahead with it but SCREAMS‬

‪ARM GAVE YOU THE WORLD'S SMALLEST 64-BIT-CAPABLE CORE TWELVE YEARS AGO AND THIS IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH IT? THIS????? DOES YOUR LUST FOR INFLICTED SUFFERING KNOW NO BOUNDS, GOOGLE? DO YOU NOT LOOK UPON YOUR CREATIONS AND WEEP FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. WHY DO YOU CURSE US‬

@hikari ARM had 64-bit cores in 2012?

@saagar yes. in the ruins of our civilisation, they will know us by the Cortex-A53 chips

@hikari Ah ok so this is the typical ARM-brain at work. Yes it was “available” in 2012 (in the form of IP of course) and then it took at least two years for anyone to actually ship it

@saagar sure, that's the typical lead time. anyway that means we've been making cortex-a53 phones for an entire decade now

Saagar Jha

(replying to Iwasawa 🌟 (one hikari of too many))
@hikari And we shall make them for a decade to come

@saagar at the end of the world, there will be famine, pestilence, and Cortex-A53
