ARM has fingers

The IT (If-Then) instruction makes up to four following instructions (the IT block) conditional. The conditions can be all the same, or some of them can be the logical inverse of the others.

LOL. I don't think even the VAX had one of those.

Humiliating? Depends how you look at it. ARM processors dominate the mobile market, precisely because of the pragmatism that ARM engineers have had over the years. Intel is the one that is feeling humiliated for not being able to really break into the mobile market.

Not that any of us here really care about mobile though. Mobile is for normies.

AArch64 does double the general purpose register count to 32, with a dedicated zero register. They also double the 128-bit NEON SIMD registers, and add double-precision support. They have dedicated instructions and processing units for AES encrypt/decrypt and SHA-1/SHA-2.

Nothing revolutionary like what Intel's doing with their recent processors though. The ADX arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic extensions Intel recently added, for example.
