Question
Panfrost developer Alyssa Rosenzweig is currently making open source graphics drivers for this hardware, and wrote a series of blog posts dissecting this hardware’s GPU. A VTuber whose surname is “Lina”, punning on “Linux”, has done 12-hour livestreams of writing Rust driver code in porting Linux to this hardware. Hector Martin, a.k.a. “marcan”, started a project to run Linux on this hardware and discovered a covert channel vulnerability in it nicknamed “M1racles” (“miracles”). The goal of (*) Asahi Linux is to run on this hardware. The Rosetta 2 emulator helps with running x86 (“x eighty-six”) applications on this hardware that, compared to its predecessor, no longer has the Boot Camp utility. This hardware uses the ARM64 architecture and was introduced in 2020 when moving away from Intel processors to an in-house design. For 10 points, name this chip that runs the most recent MacBooks. ■END■
ANSWER: Apple M1 [accept Apple silicon; accept any answer mentioning the M1 or M2 chip or processor; prompt on answers like “Macbooks” or anything suggesting Apple machines] (The VTuber is “Asahi Lina”.)
