It should be clear what is happening here. Intel sees Arm as a competitive threat in its high margin desktop and server cpu business. Supporting RISC-V as an Arm competitor at the low end weakens Arm and lessens that competitive threat.
- marcosdumay 5y agoIs it better to poke or not to poke a bear? I guess it depends on the bear being awake and what you poke it with. A move like that could just as easily push ARM to go all in on servers and desktops and harm Intel even more.
- klelatti 5y agoMore like the bear poking a sheep in this case! Seriously though the key issue now is does Arm have resources to invest in better designs - weaken cashflow and that’s in doubt.
- marcosdumay 5y agoWell, it ARM is harmless, than Intel has no reason to fear them and place them explicitly on their strategy.
