That wouldn't work since many companies already had been licensing the ARM architecture, not just cores.
- npunt 3y agoWell there'd be a transition phase and an honoring of existing contracts to some extent but the way to do it would be to slow roll the release of customer ISA updates or stop providing ISA updates altogether, e.g. anything past ARMv9.4-A would be in-house only. After 4-5 years competition would be struggling.
