Apple has been adding its ARM CPU cores to the macOS kernels for quite some time, nothing new here. Those of you wishing and hoping for Apple to replace Intel in the Mac will just have to keep waiting.

This is the complete list from xnu-3789.1.32:

#define CPUFAMILY_UNKNOWN 0
#define CPUFAMILY_POWERPC_G3 0xcee41549
#define CPUFAMILY_POWERPC_G4 0x77c184ae
#define CPUFAMILY_POWERPC_G5 0xed76d8aa
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_6_13 0xaa33392b
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_PENRYN 0x78ea4fbc
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_NEHALEM 0x6b5a4cd2
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_WESTMERE 0x573b5eec
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_SANDYBRIDGE 0x5490b78c
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_IVYBRIDGE 0x1f65e835
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_HASWELL 0x10b282dc
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_BROADWELL 0x582ed09c
#define CPUFAMILY_INTEL_SKYLAKE 0x37fc219f
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_9 0xe73283ae
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_11 0x8ff620d8
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_XSCALE 0x53b005f5
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_12 0xbd1b0ae9
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_13 0x0cc90e64
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_14 0x96077ef1
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_15 0xa8511bca
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_SWIFT 0x1e2d6381
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_CYCLONE 0x37a09642
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_TYPHOON 0x2c91a47e
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_TWISTER 0x92fb37c8
#define CPUFAMILY_ARM_HURRICANE 0x67ceee93

I guess this means we'll be getting shiny new macs with ARM9 CPUs...

ARM AFAICT has been there since they introduced CPUFAMILY into the header at xnu-1228 which was around Nehalem time frame or there abouts.
