Sorry file a lawsuit on what grounds? You seem to be under the impression that large firms can just ignore the laws of the countries they do business in. That’s not how it works.

Can't vouch for the whole group but the outside Europe part is 100% not true for Louis Vuitton which is by far the biggest brand in the group. Obviously not true for the wines and spirits and retailing too. > The Louis Vuitton leath

RISC-I didn't have two instruction lengths. All instructions were 32-bit long. Otherwise, yes RISC-I is very similar to RISC-V. Source, David Patterson: https://aspire.eecs.berkeley.edu/2017/06/how-close-is-ri

Couldn’t disagree more with your second paragraph. Customers making SoCs with Arm CPUs can happily go to TSMC. Intel is desperate to get IFS working and if it hasn’t got an Arm offering it’s basically locked out of mobile SoCs. Also Apple i

That's not correct. Otellini did not serve as CFO at any time and did not have a finance background. Please check your facts before making a comment like this. Edit: I see you've changed your comment without acknowledgment. Still

'Data center' doesn't necessarily mean Xeon competitors.

This seems absolutely inevitable. If IFS is serious it needs to be fabbing SoC's with Arm CPUs and to be as competitive as possible with TSMC. Nothing forces IFS to make Arm CPU's that compete with Intel's desktop and server

> 18A will be half a node denser than N2, while also being 12 months earlier to market. It would be interesting to hear what the consensus view is on Intel actually being able to meet this timetable. Surely a strong degree of scepticism

So you’re complaining that Arm make more than a dollar on the latest multi core CPU on an absolutely top end smartphone that retails for probably near $1000. Seems like a perfectly reasonable deal to me!

So if there are over a billion phones sold per year Arm clearly don’t charge anywhere near $10 per smartphone CPU.

Given the popularity of Compiler Explorer there must be lots of people out there reading assembly language part time! I’ve personally found it incredibly helpful in trying to understand exactly what AVX512 code compilers can be coaxed into

No your numbers are wrong (1) by an order of magnitude. The cost per smartphone equivalent CPU will be around $1 and that’s for the whole design not the ISA. [1] tens of millions is wrong and it clearly not true that Arm charges ‘as much as

I think that’s an urban myth. They (and Acorn) had to pay fees in the early days of Arm and no reason why that would change.

by klelatti 4y ago
This emphasis on price is a bit misleading imho. Arm had revenues of less than $800m in the last reported quarter and there were 8 billion Arm cores shipped. So that’s less than 10c per core. And that’s not the fee for the ISA it’s the tota

That's a slightly roundabout way of saying that Arm built the best microprocessor design for the fast growing mobile market. A design that was a factor in Nokia getting to No. 1 in the handset market. The 'happened' on power

Intel threw billions at trying to get x86 into mobile - and failed. They really don’t have the cash to try that again. AMD has been very successful but wouldn’t have the bandwidth to try this.

Agreed. Although not the mythical perpetual free license which lots of people seem to assume.

Seems like an appropriate point to give credit to Robin Saxby who, with help from Acorn and Apple - notably the late Larry Tesler, devised the strategy and who then energetically made it work. Saxby is a great, engaging, interviewee. https

The original Arm proposition was to make it cheaper for firms to use Arm’s IP than to develop their own. I suspect we are now in a (possibly short) period when there is no viable alternative to Arm on mobile say. When that period ends then
