You're extremely correct.

Regrettably, I did this intentionally because "Apple CPU Architecture" is more clickable than "Mac CPU Architecture".




Also Apple has used lots of CPU architectures over the years in various devices (e.g. time capsules, various dongles, etc).

Surely they must have RISC V deeply embedded in various locations invisible to the end user, both for cost and experience.

They could possibly even be used deeply in the bowels of the M and A devices doing some random housekeeping in the storage system or who knows what.

In a funny way the term “CPU” is returning to its mainframe roots with so many functional units harnessed into a system, yet at the same time having strayed so far from its original usage (with multicore, non-linear systems) as to have become meaningless.
