Intel had an ARM license and got rid of it, which suggests that Intel doesn't think that ARM is worth the trouble.
- andrewcooke 16y agoOr didn't want conflict of interest / intellectual property issues when developing Atom?
- gonzo 16y agoIf Intel got rid of its ARM license, how do they build all these? http://www.intel.com/design/iio/index.htm?iid=ipp_embed+proc_io http://www.intel.com/design/iio/index.htm?iid=ipp_embed+proc... Intel makes several 'families' of ARM (Xscale) based parts: IXP, IXC, IOP, PXA and CE. Intel sold the PXA family to Marvell Technology Group in June 2006. The simple fact is that Intel still holds an ARM license even after the sale of the PXA family to Marvell.
