If they can eclipse Arm performance maybe. But Samsung, Qualcomm have struggled to match Apple with Arm for years... licensing isn't what's holding them back. It seems quite optimistic to think they can match even their own Arm designs in performance with RISCV in the next 5 years. Could Microsoft turn around their phone market position in that time? It seems doubtful.
- snvzz 4y agoSamsung, Qualcomm are perhaps among the worst examples. They stopped designing their own arm cores long ago; they use ARM's own. Instead, they are very active RISC-V members. Refer to December's RISC-V Summit, specifically, Qualcomm's talks. They are deeply committed to RISC-V, and they are being sued by ARM; No doubt they are doing everything they can to leave the legacy ISA behind as soon as humanly possible.
