Everybody makes a big fuss about new ARM/x86-64 extensions but nobody seems to care about separate chips for things like idle compute (read: locally-triggered notifications and fitness tracking). I get why it exists but I’m just in awe.
“there is hardware in your pocket optimized for cryptography and hardware decoding”
ok cool
“and for secure dynamic code execution.”
makes sense
“that was made for the WebKit team at Apple for JavaScript, along with some other ARM instructions for floating point arithmetic.”
huh
“There is also a chip on your device for notifications”
