Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Bonins, Japan; Philippines

gollark: It's not *just* it being ARM.
gollark: But there is absolutely no chance that they have developed something 3 times faster at single-threaded workloads than the already rather good M1.
gollark: I think they have 8 high performance cores versus 4 or so before, so it is at least plausibly somewhat over twice as powerful at that.
gollark: That's obviously not true except possibly in multicore.
gollark: How would *that* happen?
