If you ask someone what processor is in their desktop, nobody says “Oh I’ve got an x86_64”. They’ll tell you which product line it is: “Ryzen”
If anyone deserving credit for this, it’s Intel after introducing the Pentium line.

In this case I believe they would want specify Apple Silicon because there are multiple manufacturers that produce ARM chips.

I thought the common speculation was that they aren't allowed to call it ARM, because they extend the ISA significantly enough that ARM-the-company was concerned it'd fragment the ecosystem.

Why would you call AMD cpus an Intel because they license x86?

#17gamecore sounds like a style of music I’d be really into. (4am thoughts are sometimes intrusive.) Also if you’re interested in this kind of thing, “operating systems in three easy pieces” was surprisingly good. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ It’ll teach you all the history behind the OS decisions we take for granted now. I was delighted to learn that early OS’s used to have only one global lock. Sounds silly…
If you like the sound of "gamecore", chiptune is probably right up your alley.
