AMD Designing All-New CPU Cores For ARMv8, X86

crookedvulture (1866146) writes "AMD just revealed that it has two all-new CPU cores in the works. One will be compatible with the 64-bit ARMv8 instruction set, while the other is meant as an x86 replacement for the Bulldozer architecture and its descendants. Both cores have been designed from the ground up by a team led by Jim Keller, the lead architect behind AMD's K8 architecture. Keller worked at Apple on the A4 and A4 before returning to AMD in 2012. The first chips based on the new AMD cores are due in 2016."

Keller worked at Apple on the A4 and A4

Probably worked on the A4 and A4 and the A4, as well.

No, no, that is obviously a typo. T'was the A4, Letter and Legal.

When did they start labeling the CPUs with their operating temperature?

Ahh, you figured it out, the multiple A4s were referencing different things [wikipedia.org].

So pick two of those.
