So you’re complaining that Arm make more than a dollar on the latest multi core CPU on an absolutely top end smartphone that retails for probably near $1000. Seems like a perfectly reasonable deal to me!
- brucehoult 4y agoWho is complaining? I'm merely pointing out that not all those cores are licensed for 10c each. Many go for a lot less, some go for a lot more. It's been a struggle but I'd glad we agree on that now. Now we can discuss what the scope is for RISC-V companies to charge for cores or chips. Jim Keller said yesterday that in 2024 his company will have an 8-wide RISC-V core, on a chip, that performs on a par with Apple M1/M2 and Zen 5. Performance gap between RISC-V and x86 down to zero. I suspect that in 2024 he means expensive shuttle run chips. But working and able to be demoed. Mass-production chips are usually 12-24 months later.
