Qualcomm says ARM to prohibit proximity of CPU and 3rd-party modules in one chip
I think ARM is upset their NVidia buy-out was cancelled. This essentially forces someone else to purchase the company, as the total license fees for a company like Google&#x2F;Apple could outstrip the straight acquisition cost. It&#x27;s the only plausible explanation I have, as this is basically a giant foot-gun set on destroying the ARM ecosystem right as it&#x27;s becoming ubiquitous.<p>Either that or the MBA&#x27;s have taken over, the engineers have left the building, and there&#x27;s no innovation left in their product roadmap. If there&#x27;s no future in their IP then ARM is just a glorified patent troll; in which case I&#x27;ll gladly watch them burn down as RISC-V takes over.
