Isn't pretty much all modern x86 cpu's ARM at their core anyways, or am i missing something? The big deal about Apple scilicone is how its an all-in-one and obviously having things compiled for arm in the first place helps

> arm at their core

Most modern "CISC" processors internally are composed of RISC-like elements with instruction decoders in front.

ARM is a specific almost-RISC instruction set architecture.
