What nospam was referring to is the particular architecture of Apple's chips which are structured with specialized CPU's for some tasks. (ie: some focused on performance and some focused on lower power background, the neural engine, etc.). I doubt very much an ARM compiler/assembler would compile Apple's code for their chips. Apple have surely added, modified and extended instructions in the machine set. They can "get away with this" because they don't need to publish this to anyone for compatibility. And before you go there, this is likely agreed to by ARM as long as Apple keep their extensions to themselves - even if Apple risk some "collision" with future official ARM instruction updates that aren't compatible. With strict configuration control, even this can be handled over the long haul. As the Apple chip evolution carries on, the desktop/laptop chip family will evolve to be more appropriate to those environments (more focus on performance than power consumption compared to the phones/pads, etc.).
