It wouldn't really fit with the PR narrative for them to just license IP from ARM, and they probably wouldn't develop nearly as much technical knowledge as they would developing the architecture themselves.
Aside, I hope my comment didn't seem too abrasive. It's hard not to get attached to something you work closely on most of your life.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoI expect you are exactly correct on the narrative angle. Which is sad because there are so many great stories of people who worked on someone else's technology and then branched out and started their own. The Fairchild => Intel story is just one such example. And it makes me sad when the 'narrative' interferes with the goal. If the goal is to develop a vibrant CPU/semiconductor capability in India then that effort is cultivated by minimizing risk where possible and leveraging other work. And leveraging ARM would be a great way to train up on all the things you have to have/do in order to support a range of offerings for a given ISA. As for abrasiveness, I read it as a passion more than insult. I also read it as a signal of frustration and I like to understand the roots of the frustration in order to improve things.
