As usual Apple have really done a lot of marketing now that people keep calling it Apple silicon instead of ARM

If you ask someone what processor is in their desktop, nobody says “Oh I’ve got an x86_64”. They’ll tell you which product line it is: “Ryzen”

If anyone deserving credit for this, it’s Intel after introducing the Pentium line.

In this case I believe they would want specify Apple Silicon because there are multiple manufacturers that produce ARM chips.

I thought the common speculation was that they aren't allowed to call it ARM, because they extend the ISA significantly enough that ARM-the-company was concerned it'd fragment the ecosystem.

Why would you call AMD cpus an Intel because they license x86?
