  1. For those who don’t know the history of ARM. In October 1983, Sophie Wilson began designing the instruction set for one of the first reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processors, the Acorn RISC Machine (ARM). The ARM1 was delivered on 26 April 1985 and worked first time. This processor type was later to become one of the most successful IP cores – a licensed CPU core – and by 2012 was being used in 95% of smartphones. Wilson designed Acorn Replay, the video architecture for Acorn machines. This included operating system extensions for video access, as well as the codecs, optimised to run high frame rate video on ARM CPUs from the ARM 2 onwards. You can’t own or patent a brain.

  2.  @JohnNy-ni9np  No, but Steve Jobs bought a big chunk of Arm way before he died, I think at present the Arm Instruction set 9 is used by the Apple Silicon Chips. Steve wanted control of Arm, but I think he got 30%.. way back he preferred RISC instruction set.

  3. Yes I owned one as well. The difference between working on a Mainframe and Acorn was ridiculous
