Million, really? Off by a factor of 1,000?
- foobiekr 5y ago"RISC-V competitor" At this moment, the relevant information about Arm is that it competes with x86. RISC-V is no more relevant than Elbrus, though obviously that's going to change.
- FullyFunctional 5y agoThis statement doesn't appear grounded in facts. Arm was clearly concerned with RISC-V _years_ ago and the competition from RISC-V is far more severe today. I don't claim that Arm will go away anytime soon, but RISC-V is a viable alternative especially in the embedded realm and that will be used for pricing pressure. Long-term, I suspect economics will play out as they always do in the tech sector.
