Nvidia doesn't licence its designs to other companies for incorporation into their own chip designs, ARM does. That is the main distinction I think, and why people want it to be a neutral third party.

- maxwell86 5y agoThey've been saying that from the beginning. There are billions of ARM devices, the ability to sell a GPU to each is worth money.
