I don't find the surprising. Unseating ARM will take more than just having an available RISC-V chip. It's similar to announcing a Linux OS and expecting Microsoft stock to be affected.
It requires manufacturing and adoption in the minimum 100,000s and more likely millions before ARM will probably be affected.
Also, everyone one is focusing on how ARM will adapt/capture part of the AI market.

- RetroTechie 3y agoARM could consider to put a team on designing RISC-V chips. Remember, ARM earns money by licensing IP. RV is an open architecture, but a specific implementation or SoC based on it can be licensed IP just the same (probably is - gpu's etc). And several companies are doing just that. ARM has great expertise in this area. No reason it couldn't be a similar big player in RISC-V world (or at least, hedge their bets). In ARM's shoes, what would you prefer: RISC-V eating your market share, or RISC-V cores designed & licensed by ARM doing so? Not all silicon vendors design their own cores just because they can...
- snvzz 3y agoThis is sensible, as demonstrated by MIPS. But ARM hasn't shown signs of intelligence in the executive, for a long time now. Thus, I wouldn't count on it.
