Macroscalar Processors: The Next Big Thing in iOS Devices?
Apple's, nearly 1000 member strong, in-house processor design team is really working hard on speeding up Macs and iOS devices.
Patently Apple reports that Apple filed a trademark application for the term "Macroscalar" in the US and Hong Kong. The term concerns microprocessors found on computers, more specifically, it refers to a type of architecture for processors that Apple is developing.

The boat has already sailed on this one. Take a look at the specs for the Itanium processor made by Intel and designed by HP in the 1980s. Then, and still today, the HP optimizing compilers perform the techniques mentioned in this article, and a lot more. Predication, speculative execution, etc.Been there, done that.
