My understanding is that this PR session is basically the announcement of the deal. True, it would be nice to know how long they've had a deal, but IMHO it's more interesting to know for how long the team has been working on the new design, and when it's slated to launch.
- ksec 5y agoFrom the article >In fact, Ampere explains that what the move towards a full custom microarchitecture core design was actually always the plan for the company since its inception, and their custom CPU design had been in the works for the past 3+ years. So my guess is that they always had the license but never put out the announcement until they actually have their custom core. Although in modern days PR speak a "custom" core could also be a custom ARM X-1 [1] type of custom. We will have to wait for more details.
