The company employed a 150-person engineering team which included people who had previously worked on processors like Itanium, Opteron and UltraSPARC.

Also principal designers of the DEC Alpha and the StrongARM, FWIW.

They hired some of the best and most experienced in the business. You get what you pay for.

They also bought Intrinsity, who designed the enhanced Cortex-A8 cores used in the Apple A4 and early Samsung Exynos SoCs.
