Yes I was more than a little surprised about ARM talking about transactional memory when launching ARMv9. They did clean up their memory model when they found problems investigating it a few years ago but I think they must have got to the stage where they believe they can actually implement a reasonable version? Perhaps IBM have discovered a problem like ARM did? Or maybe they've had a better idea? Or is implementing it just too costly overall?
