- justaguy88 6y agoIs there a citation for the perpetual licence? I would have just assumed they would have purchased a long-term licence to build cores for a particular ISA version
- tibbydudeza 6y agoYou just have to implement ARMv8 architecture in your SoC also nothing prevents you from extending it further with ML or GPU bits. I doubt that NVidia controlled ARM will ever be so inclined to sell another architecture license ... they would rather sell you their own designed ARM chips.
- jonplackett 6y agoDo apple just build on their own direction now then - I thought ARM would every so often create a new design and then everyone would use that as the basis for their chips. Do apple not do that? Or am I misunderstanding what's going on?
