How Amateurs created the world’s most popular Processor (History of ARM Part 1)

I have an American version of a BBC Model B
It can output NTSC TV , use 120 volt 60 hz mains power and accepts British and American spellingd of some BASIC keywords

One of the few truly successful modern British companies which has transformed computing globally, sold to foreigners by people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. And us brits wonder why we are losing influence in the world. Shameful.

Well not entirely factual she was a he back then

Who were the amateurs?

I got an interview call from arm it feels crazy

You mean Rodger Wilson. Ask Chris.

Please explains MIPS, Emotion Engine, and RISC V too

Because of this design, 2023 Apple computers are so fast and cooler than anything out there. How come Intel and AMD don't bother using ARM CPs? I mean it will cause them some licensing fees but I'm sure windows based laptops would be a lot more capable than now.

Something of note, a little late for pride month- Sophie is actually trans, and as a transfeminine myself also working in IT, she really is an inspiration to me. Have a good one y'all!

i got no audio atm, but didnt risc start at ibm first and arm is just an adaption of that !?
so it was a dude at ibm who created risc. i havent seen all video and have no audio , but i know this is often forgoten ,just like atari stealing all there first games and tech from others , and having many law suits against them and having to pay damages and still they take the glory !!!

wow! i thought i heard abigail thorn!

Lol @ using a cartoon of a woman being the genius, since there's no video if it.

Fun Fact as a response to the end of the video: I am german, and of course I have heard of Acorn. They built the Archimedes Computer, that was the first RISC Home Computer of it's time.

Beautiful video and the animations are just amazing. I definitely recommend nebula for the full interview.

In 30 years, he'll make a video on Linus Tech Tips

Is that KurtJMac in the thumbnail?

SoC 5 watt goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

feels insane to watch this on an arm64 device

I've just realised that every time somebody types something transphobic into their phone, they have a trans woman to thank for their phone.

In the thumbnail, why is the guy from the BBC wearing 3D glasses?

I wish your back in action as before with the low spec gaming videos, with the steam deck in town. "Your not the hero we want, your the hero we deserve"❤

The BBC movie called Micro Men from 2009 covers this story. Really a great little flick.

Huh, give me money and I will make a 512 bit computer.

Pssssht, weaksauce.

Yeah

The more I hear/learn from the 70's 80's and 90's the more ashamed I am, that I can't even program a simple algorithm without stackoverflow, yet I had the same education asa they did. Now our days are spent fighting package managers and absurd deep tech stacks.

they made what was needed, not made what wasn't needed and marketed it hard
that's the difference between great and shitty world

YEAH WORK ETHIC CREATION MULTIVERSE UNIVERSE INVENTION EVERYTHING POSSIBLE CAN WORKING YEAH TRUTH BILLION PEOPLE'S LOVE BLESSING

I still own a atom and bbc .

Great video except for one thing. The title. They were not "amateurs". They were highly trained professional engineers.

So Wilson basically invented External GPUs...

You're tech is everywhere and you aren't the one who did it. What a crazy world.

motorola 6800 or 68000? think u messed those 2, one is called, other is showed in numbers on video -.- ns32016 is cisc, and that matches what u wanted to say, i believe...

LEAKED CURRENT = GHOST PROCESSING

MOST POPULAR POWERFUL PROSPERITY PRIDE BE PEACE

It’s just that people don’t have a choice, which piece of sh*t they give, then they eat ... ARM is not best CPU...

Hello, LowSpecGamer! You know what, I randomly remembered your channel name while doing schoolwork. I just want to thank you for all the things you have done in the gaming community, especially to those who loved to game on their potato laptops or low-end PCs (I am one of them! I have finished the some of the arkham games and borderland games on a Toshiba Satellite C75D - during the windows 8 era).

I have my own PC now (I fumbled and built it last year!) but you have helped me tons during my teenage years playing the arkham and borderland games (rummaging around .ini files and turning TRUE and 1 values to FALSE and 0. Mannnn, the nostalgia hit hard. Now, I can run the games you've helped me "low-specc'ing" back then at the best graphics settings they can offer!

I was kinda shocked of the change in content, but with the others, we've got your back like you've had ours back in the days.

Again, I can't thank you enough. I wish you well in all your endeavors!

So, by "Amateurs", you mean professionals in a different sub-field of computer engineering.

Just.. man, mad respect to you for both the well researched - and highly entertainingly narrated - video and those animation/drawing skills, always a pleasure to watch your videos

amateur is my favorite category 🤪

I learned about Acorn and their RISC Machines through an article about the gaming capabilities of the A3000 in a german computer gaming magazine called Power Play 😂

Google even showed me the scanned image of said article in issue 7/92 of the magazine, free to read for anyone. I remember beeing deeply impressed, but I could not even find a computer store who had one as a showcase model, at least in reach of my juvenile self in the rural area in Switzerland I grew up in.

Sons of the forest episode?

Love it. Although calling them amateurs is a bit of a stretch…. :)

Yup, this was my life from almost day one to a few days after Acorn was uprooted. I am an Apple man now but I was forced to the Windoze machines for a decade first.
If you were around back then you may have read my articles in mags about the computers that came next - the Archimedes,

RISC was the hot new thing in the early 90s. If they only knew back then how dominate it would become because of cell phone 30 years later.
