Anyway, I think my comment is still valid.
The "special relationship" is just fanboy fantasy. Qualcomm and Marvell have both in past done ground up designs that significantly differs from any ARM silicon.
If you don't believe me, fell free to provide actual proof of this special license.
- monocasa 4y agoIt's been posted elsewhere, diverging from the ARM Architecture Reference Manual in ways that other chips have not. New instructions in spaces like ML, decompression, new privilege modes, features that are fixed on that are specficed to be optional at runtime, etc. Particularly the new instructions are damning as ARM has said they are specifically disallowing custom instructions this go around in order to combat architecture fragmentation.
- pertymcpert 4y agoI've yet to see QC add custom instructions to their cores.
