Why don't they do something similar but with ARM? We already have plenty of proven stuff working on that architecture.
Also, the propreties that they are getting feel like being knocked back a decade--is it due to the fabrication facilities that they have?
- weland 11y agoAs much as I'd love to see x86 go the fuck away, we have a lot more proven stuff working on that architecture -- including a lot of legacy or closed-source software that won't get ported soon. > Also, the propreties that they are getting feel like being knocked back a decade--is it due to the fabrication facilities that they have? Most likely. Top of the line stuff needs a lot of money and expertise -- Russian companies don't have that much of the former, and Russia exports or rent^H^H^H^H uses a lot of the latter for outsourcing.
