Apple, ARM, and Intel
> Notably, one thing Apple does not need to give up is Windows support: Windows has run on ARM for the last decade, and I expect Boot Camp to continue.<p>I brought up the possibility of Bootcamp supporting ARM Windows on HN yesterday, and others responded with some rightful criticisms.<p>From mrkstu:<p>> <i>The problem is that Apple has moved to a home-grown stack for it graphics and deprecated OpenGL and moved wholly to Metal. [...] There is no way Apple would create a Windows driver for that custom silicon—it has always relied on AMD or Nvidia for those drivers in the past, it has no in house code base or expertise to write the requisite code in Windows and none of the silicon has been optimized for it.</i><p>And from pavlov:<p>> <i>I don't think there is a standard BIOS for ARM like there is for x86, so multi-boot would probably require Microsoft to support Macs explicitly in Windows on ARM.</i><p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23528066" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23528066</a>
