My comment wasn’t really around legal or business merits but rather the bad faith nature of these actions which would apply whether using open or closed source ip. However, the ‘dangers of building on sole-source’ licensed IP is true in gen

It is informative to note the contrast between the fact that 22 companies (Microsoft, Google, Samsung, etc, etc) were all given enough notice in advance of the Nuvia acquisition, to be able to come up with a quote endorsing it. [1] And the

Best analysis I've read so far of how Intel got into this mess and how it could (and won't) get out of it.

There is an interesting discussion on Optane on the Oxide podcast that I linked to. Long story short Oxide was interested but Intel's culture of secrecy got in the way. Not surprised the cloud providers weren't interested either.

Didn't 'Gelsinger era' Intel abandon Optane and Tofino? And listening to the most recent Oxide podcast [1] I can't think the Oxide team would want to stay long at Intel unless the new CEO took radical action. [1] https:

So Gelsinger personally did all the technical work on 18A? Of course he didn’t and the work on that will continue. He also didn’t really deal with the other issues you’ve highlighted and the ‘didn’t have time bit’ is just an excuse. I mean

I’m not sure how it’s possible to come to a firm view on this decision on the basis of the information that is now public. For example whilst there has been apparent technical progress eg on 18A - which is central to Gelsingers track record

> but has hyper-threading (!!!) meaning you get 384 threads... So this means that AMD is essentially on par with ARM cpus So you’re saying ‘essentially’ an AMD thread is the same as an ampere core?!

If Qualcomm loses to Arm in the courts then they have a big problem in 2025 which switching to RISC-V at some point in the future will not solve for them.

by klelatti 2y ago
Hypothetically, if Qualcomm have broken their Arm licenses in a way that damages Arm’s business do you think Arm are supposed to just let them carry on? Should Arm say ‘legal action won’t look good so we’ll just let it pass’? And the fact t

Loads of inexpensive quality games - so kids wanted one, but also programmable with a decent enough BASIC for the era - so parents could see it as an educational tool too. Plus, cheap enough to be affordable for most families.

I think I would rather characterise it as hardball action by Qualcomm that got an expected response from Arm. The fact that Qualcomm told everyone except Arm in advance of the Nuvia deal is a tell. I think settlement is unlikely - we are tw

The point is that the US got a huge jump start in 19C from copying - and often improving - other countries technology. Sure lots of fundamental inventions - like Edison came at the end of that period but it doesn’t negate the jump start. So
