From servers, desktop, and mobile, I’ve long wished we had architectures competing with x86 at the high end. Fortunately, there are plenty of architectures out there. From ARM and ARM64, to MIPS, there are choices. There is one recent one that has been getting my attention lately, and I’ve thought it’s time to start diving in to it.
