Arm is just being extremely greedy.
I don't understand how is this not Anti competitive? Why no one doing anything to Arm now?

Techgeek91, 23 Oct 2024seems like mediatek bribing arm for this step.....I was doubting Apple. Because they were ex employees and Apple doesn't want Snapdragon to catch up maybe.

Look! Companies that hold patents always want to squeeze and want more profit from consumers who use their patents.ARM's foundation has already shown signs of their greed and ego for fear of their technology being outclassed by their consumers.If the ARM case continues to drag on and there is no resolution, one day you will go bankrupt and everything will be dominated by risc-v which is more open source for risc instruction set. IF ARM ACT WORSE AND EVEN WORSE I HOPE THEY WILL GET BAD KARMA AND LOSE THEIR DOMINANCE.

This could lead to delayed device releases, or even a price hike for Android phones. But on the flip side, this may turn out to be good news for MediaTek, since the delays may lead to OEMs looking for alternative chipmakers for their smartphones

Techgeek91, 23 Oct 2024seems like mediatek bribing arm for this step.....Qualcomm use their knowledge on ARM's IP to create their own CPU and believe that's totally fine. On the other hands ARM believe Qualcomm need to pay.
Then, they're disagree....
And then the drama begin
And will be settled in court or out of court with undisclosed amount of money

No way Qualcomm actually loses their licenses. Either Qualcomm wins in court, or they'll negotiate a new deal with ARM.

Rosso, 23 Oct 2024Can't figure out if this is about the instruction set ... moreGood question, and no it isn't clear from the article. I remember that whilst originally 'Kryo' cores were fully in house Qualcomm designs, later iterations of Kryo were semi custom modifications of Cortex cores built using the BOC (Built on Cortex) licence Qualcomm signed with Arm. Maybe this is a hangover from some of the terms and conditions in that licence agreement 🤔
All I know is it would be in the interests of both parties to get this one straightened out lickety-split 🤷♂️

Qualcomm probably have a CPU architecture hidden somewhere.

and Linux kernel developers are tired of all the intel amd x86 hardware bugs, the next gen hw will probably be the best yet

Qualcomm will certainly work it out for now... But this is a pretty big boost for RISC-V.

Both company's future is at stake but if arm goes with this decision, more damage will be to arm
1) They will lose on the major customer
2) more and more companies will try to get away from arm
Looks like arm is on self destruction mode.

Even if successful and good, nobody would use it, or at least not in big enough capacity to make an impact.

But thats just an opinion.
