ARM History

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/_6sh097Dk5k

Some people claim that modern ARM and ARM-derived CPUs, such as Apple's current M1 and M2 CPUs, are more or less directly descended from the popular MOS6502, which would thus make the 6502 a RISC design (which of course is not the case).

However, the Advanced RISC Machines definitely won more than one CPU battle, that's for sure. 

And beyond that, ARM - even in modern incarnations - is an interesting architecture, albeit today almost as fragmented and proprietary as other processor architectures.

The history is of ARM is more than just interesting, though, and Talks at Google released an interview with Dave Jaggar - one of the fathers of the architecture and responsible for its success from 1992 to 2000 a few days ago.

At one hour, the talk is quite a beast, but whoever is interested will find everything but boredom here.
