I think „scary” is the best word. If of course rumor about choosing RISC-V over ARM is true!
We just saw big win of ARM over Intel's multi-decade scam and yet here we are with another split from ARM, because of politics. Scary to see how stupid, talking people, convincing other people to hate without real reasons can lead to such stories…
- stonogo 2y agoI'm less convinced the RISC-V move is about politics and more convinced it's about not paying for ARM licenses.
- Malidir 2y agoArm is Softbank. And Softbank is all in on Team USA.

- pantalaimon 2y agoBut they don't have access to new designs and no way to add new architecture extensions that could be widely adopted.
- Mistletoe 2y agoChina is already red.
- martinsnow 2y agoI don't see how they went rouge? https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/arm-lays-off-70-software-engineers-in-china/ https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/arm-lays-off-70-s... Arm is still in control. Some went to form another company however.
- buyucu 2y agosoftbank is usually the dumb money on the poker table, funding bad ideas long after anyone intelligent leaves them. wework is probably the best example. getting funded by softbank is probably a good proxy indicator for companies losing their competitive edge.
- martinsnow 2y agoArm the company is based in the UK and thr UK wants to rejoin the EU. I don't think you should be so sure about that.
- wren6991 2y ago> We just saw big win of ARM over Intel's multi-decade scam We also just saw Arm sue one of their customers following an acquisition of another of Arm's customers, and try to make them destroy IP that was covered by both customers' licenses. Nobody wants to deal with licensing, and when the licensor is that aggressive it makes open alternatives all the more compelling, even if they're not technically on-par.
- Malidir 2y agoRISC-V is open source. Stop being so squareand embrace the future maaaaann.
- buyucu 2y agoRISC-V is open source. Everyone wins when we switch from Arm to RISC-V. Well, everyone except Arm.
