Completely agree. Also clear that HH kept out of their way which is a lesson for many managers.
I'd also add that they had two more things - no legacy and no customers - so no-one to demand backwards compatibility which hindered the other firms.
I actually attended one of the first public outings for the first Arm CPU - in 1986 I think - we couldn't quite believe that this tiny team had built a 32 bit CPU from scratch. Of course history kind of repeated itself later when Arm Ltd was spun out and had almost no cash and almost no people (or 12 to be precise)!
