Do note, however, the ARM64 started appearing in consumer devices maybe around 2015, ten years later than AMD64. And nowadays there are still (although few) ARM32 systems being produced --- I know it's even funny to refer to them giving the stock shortage that's been biting them for already too long, but i.e. the lowest Raspberry Pi models (Zero, 1A, 1B -- the ones that need armel) have "obsolescence statements" committing to have them produced at least until January 2026¹. ¹ https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-1-model-a-plus/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-1-model-b-plus/ (end of page)
