1. Still ARMv8.

2. "*Nuvia Inc* Oryon processors"

Why draw the distinction? Do you have a stake in the royalty lawsuit b/t ARM and Qualcomm?

Is Apple M4 considered ARMv8 or ARMv9? Does it have MTE enabled?

I don't think that's known yet. But M3 was ARMv8.6-A and Apple's been keeping up nicely.

If Oryon is ARMv8.0-A then that's quite a disappointment. The LSE instructions are incredibly nice.

The Apple M4 is rumored to be ARMv9, even featuring SME on top of SVE2: https://wccftech.com/apple-m4-adopts-armv9-run-complex-workl...

If true, I'd much rather buy an M4 and use Asashi linux (once it supports the M4) than Oryon, but I enjoy low level coding. Being NEON-only doesn't really bring anything new or interesting to the table from that perspective.
