Well, they might announce this publicly to help their license negotiations with ARM (rumor is that their license is up for renewal in 2024). But Qualcomm is also a multi billion-dollar company which has no second supplier for their core technology. They used to license the ARM architecture to build their own designs (Scorpion, Krait), but lately the CPU-cores are mostly ARM-design. RISC-V would be a good candidate to reduce their business risk. -- Whereas when trying to remove the litigation-PR from the Nuvia lawsuit, the case is about Qualcomm trying to transfer everything Nuvia has developed under a specific narrow ARM-license to the broad license of Qualcomm: ARM originally gave favorable conditions to Nuvia, a startup which aimed to develop tech and compete in a field where ARM is weak (servers). Now Qualcomm, the biggest customer of the strongest revenue-market of ARM (mobile devices) has acquired that startup to repurpose their development and use it in mobile devices, PCs, automotive, VR,... ARM has filed a lawsuit that this was never in scope of the license and that the tech should be destroyed: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/22273195/arm-v-qualcomm-99-9999-stamped-complaint.pdf https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/22273195/arm-v-qualco...
