    "an ambidextrous heterogeneous compute strategy"

    2014:
    "To discuss why AMD might build a single chip with both ARM and x86 cores, we first need to cover the industry’s previous attempts at multi-ISA products. (Yes, chip makers have tried this before.)"

    "For AMD, neither of these approaches is ideal, and while the company could theoretically implement an x86 cluster and an ARM cluster on the same die (switching between them at boot), that’s another mediocre solution that sacrifices die space for compatibility but risks two mediocre CPU clusters ending up side by side rather than one amazing product. In its discussions, AMD is clear that it’s targeting something unique, something that would leverage its IP and particular strengths — so let’s take a look at two options for what that might be."
    ...
    "A dual x86/ARM SoC could accomplish that if AMD can build a sufficiently elegant architecture. It’s not as crazy an idea as it sounds at first glance — much of the research going on in computing today is focused on improving performance by spinning workloads off to the right core at the right time. Ideally, an initiative like this would establish AMD as the go-to community with comprehensive ISA support that could unify the fractured computing ecosystem.

    We won’t know if a chip like this is in the cards for quite some time, but given the direction AMD is headed and its previous public comments, we’d be stunned if it wasn’t. The company has poured too much effort into redefining itself as the heterogeneous compute leader of the future to balk at the idea of a truly heterogeneous ARM-x86 SoC."

    AMD’s next big gamble: ARM and x86 cores working side by side on the same chip ( 2014 ! )
