AMD will probably "arm" up quickly, NVidia is acquiring ARM proper, Qualcomm won't sit still. Intel? Well, maybe 12 months after they catch up to AMD in x86.

AMD will probably "arm" up quickly, NVidia is acquiring ARM proper, Qualcomm won't sit still.
Intel? Well, maybe 12 months after they catch up to AMD in x86.
AMD's chips I've seen are decently competitive with M1. If ARM is a not-too-bad microcode adaptation and ditching a whole lot of x86 silicon real estate, AMD might be able to come to market quickly.
Intel isn't just getting pantsed in x86 by AMD and process by TSMC, they are seeing their entire ISA getting challenged. Wow are they in trouble.
- Hamuko 6y agoIsn't the ARM acquisition kinda stuck at the moment?
- dagmx 6y agoIt is, but nvidia don't need it necessarily to compete in the ARM space, since they already make Arm SOCs
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoarguably they would proceed on an ARM design with or without the formal company acquisition. It's too good of an opportunity.
- uKGgZfqqNZtf7Za 6y agoIt has to go through regulatory approval in the UK but this was to be expected. Jensen (Nvidia CEO) said he expected the acquisition to be complete by 2023.
