The deal with apple is probably 0.1% of revenue from all hardware sales that contain ARM IP or something similar.
Which means that if Apple decide to switch to RISC-V to save money, the deal is still in effect, but no money will be paid, so there might as well be no deal.
- boringg 3y agoYou think it's that low?

For Apple, they won't offer much because they could develop their own CPU architecture ISA pretty easily (they control all code and compilers for the platform after all, and already employ lots of compiler and CPU developers).
