You really think apple isn’t their best customer?
You really think apple isn’t part of why this is happening?
by units shipped it’s absolutely qualcomm.
but yeah this definitely smells of apple
By units shipped it will absolutely be Qualcomm by orders of magnitude. By revenue it is very likely also Qualcomm. And what advantage would Apple have from this? It works just lead to higher prices for them.
Apple could buy arm and shut everyone else out.
That wouldn’t fly with regulators at all.
By units shipped it’s mediatek. Also, according to ARM, Qualcomm is in violation of their license. This is how they wanna make sure Qualcomm pays what ARM thinks they owe them, which seems fair, if they’re in the right.
You don’t need apple if you have two other megacorps bitching with each other.
Apple is hard to work with a lot of times due to the exclusively requirements
Let them fight
I really hope this makes more companies work on RISC-V development
What happened?
Everything is aligning for the rise of RISC-V
We will have to wait and see. Right now it is nuclear where it will go.
Yes, with the power of our nuclear processors, no one will see us coming.
nice how they’re not actually pointing the gun at their foot
They didn’t learn from Oracle?
Their best customer would be mediatek though. Their chips aren’t as fast but they sell more of them and to ARM only the latter really matters.
inb4 RISC-V phone chips announced
(although honestly RISC-V phones would be rad af)
