I hope correct timeline here:
- EU drops plans to license ARM and start to obviously fail to buid their own arch
- Softbank announces it want to get rid of ARM
- Nvidia want, UK agree
- Apple announces M1
- Nvidia announces Grace
- LG drop making phones
- China announces cpu independence
- UK oh noes, our treasure ! - suddenly "own" arch is good ? LOL
If it is just money for Nvidia deal need to be preserved.
But Apple and Nvidia are Intel killers now and noone saw potential in ARM ? More likely ARM wanted to ditch UK. Or rather top managers was talking with US buyers earlier... Like Altavista execs moved to Google after headshotting own company.
Anyway, whatever - let just x86 die. And pleas, pleas kill MS Windows too !! There is astonishing amount of money behind this madness. Not to mention "spyware" element in both.
- jedimastert 6y agoWhat are the "spyware" elements you refer to in x86?
- astrange 6y agoNot especially accurate reference to Intel ME / AMD PSP.
