It would take years for Qualcomm to catch up. They’d be in a much worse than for example Intel is in now.
By the time they had a competitive RISC-V core (just look at how lo no it took them to ship Oryon and it would be much harder) Qualcomm would be either bankrupt of sold for parts.
- snvzz 2y agoThe implicit assumption is that they are starting RISC-V efforts today.
- wqaatwt 2y agoYeah, I’d say the same even if they had already started months ago, maybe even a year or two. Qualcomm bought Nuvia back in 2021, so they didn’t start from scratch. They’d only released their first product this year and it’s not even that competitive (it’s good but certainly not an “x86 killer”. And developing a new ARM core should be significantly easier to begin with. They are also a public corporation it would be virtually impossible for Qualcomm to actually not make some sort of a deal with ARM, the market and their board would just force them to.
