"in-house" is misleading

’s fabrication plants.
- alain94040 7mo agoIt's not misleading for people in the industry. ARM so far was selling IP (Verilog source code) that other chip makers would include in a full chip design. Now ARM for the first time (this century) is making its own chip [design], which like most of its customers, is manufactured by a fab like TSMC. The title is clear.
- sgerenser 7mo agoSimilarly Apple doesn't manufacture any of its own computers or iPhones (it's all contract manufacturers like FoxConn) but it would clearly be wrong to say "Apple doesn't make computers! Foxconn does!"
- brcmthrowaway 7mo agoNot really verilog source code. TSMC probably provides libraries to Apple Apple is just a systems integrator
- sifar 7mo agoIt's called fables.
