    It's Arm based, although they barely mention that.

      Interesting to note that Fujitsu did this when the SPARC architecture was popular: they enhanced/developed a CPU for the same ABI.

      Seems they have decided they don’t want to create their own architecture, but take the popular architecture and build on it.

        Thanks kinda how Japan works. Inventing something new is hard, but taking something that's a cool idea and making it actually usable is well within their wheelhouse.

          The 1980s called, it wants its stereotypes back.
