I think you got it the wrong way around. Nuvia got allegedly got a really good ALA because they targeted server and where small, but then Qualcomm bought Nuvia and wants to produce smartphone chips with the cheaper Nuvia ALA, based on Nuvia IP. Arm argues they have to use the more expensive Qualcomm ALA.
- klelatti 2y agoNo, the parent comment is correct (on the relative fees at least). Qualcomm wants to sell Nuvia-derived cores under its own ALA at a lower fee than Nuvia would have had to pay (which makes sense as server cores cost more than smartphone cores).
