Apple CPU RTL team

Hello Blinders, Have an upcoming onsite interview with Apple CPU RTL team ( I think they own cache block) and comes under Silicon Engineering Group. Any inputs on the team and interview pointers? Thanks in advance. Tc: 125

Brush up on other microarchitectural topics besides caching, such as branch prediction, prefetching, OOO execution, aside from obvious stuff like cache coherency protocols.

OP here adding some more info: Along with whatever Microsoft mentioned above, read up on arbiter designs, circuit level designs of priority arbiters and some performance basics like bandwidth and latency concepts.
