The Apple ARM Silicon M1 design closely mirrors the Fujitsu ARM A64fx architecture.

The main point is that the CPU functions similarly to a GPU and includes built-in RAM. The announcement about Apple’s new devices isn’t entirely novel, but it does focus on efficiency and performance improvements. It seems ARM technology was likely used for this design, possibly inspired by Fujitsu A64fx lite.
This suggests ARM might provide a comparable solution for x86 in the future. The ARM Cortex A78c targets laptops and mobile devices, possibly serving as an alternative to Macs if PC sales decline. It could also integrate a CPU, GPU, and RAM into a single system-on-chip, functioning as a unified SOC.
