> Free to sell pre-made cores
You do know that Arm makes a tiny amount on each core licensed and that none of the firms you mention will have any interest in that business model. If they’ve spent a lot of money on a competitive design they will not be handing to competitors for peanuts.
- thereddaikon 3y agoAre you saying Qualcomm doesn't have interest in selling cpus to customers without paying a third party a licensing fee? That doesn't make any sense. Companies are always interested in lowering their overheads.
- klelatti 3y ago> But this doesn't answer the question as to where firms go if they want to license a core rather than design in-house My original comment. Qualcomm won't be doing this. Or at least not for a fee that is in any way comparable to what Arm charges.
