- bhouston 8y agoIsn't arm fabless? And doesn't all smartphones use arm but via Qualcomm, allwinner, Apple's ax, or Samsung?
- JPLeRouzic 8y agoLook at the two links I provided. And ARM wants to provide IP compatible with 10 nm to compete with TSMC and GF: https://www.arm.com/products/physical-ip https://www.arm.com/products/physical-ip
- HelloNurse 8y agoThere might be some ARM customer who selected Intel as a foundry for their ARM design; the question is how much ARM would have to invest on such a customer. I suppose the worst case would be an expensive R&D initiative (with ARM paying Intel for prototypes) about how to make ARM cores with Intel's 10nm process, with no usable result. Not likely to sink ARM.
- Gibbon1 8y agoRolling things over in my head. Warning mere speculation. ARM doesn't sell silicon, they license IP. However might be they're licensing IP blocks. Essentially a tested CPU layout you can more or less paste into a design. Think Lego's.
- psds2 8y agoDoesn't Softbank own ARM now? I don't see ARM having any market cap of its own to qualify the statement "$20bn market cap company"
- JPLeRouzic 8y agoYou are right they are not listed anymore, Softbank bought ARM $31 billion.
