Arm wants to charge dramatically more for chip licenses
This is such a huge-scale massively-disrupting event.<p>I hope Intel &amp; AMD try to play. I&#x27;d love to see ultra-small x86 cores &amp; cut down Gpus come out to play. I tend to doubt x86 is inherently vastly worse. But it&#x27;s also hard to imagine them wanting to march into a competitive down market where most phones cost less than the starting prices of their regular cpus.<p>This is a huge chance for RISC-V but so far it has been an unserious competitor. Nothing big, nothing efficient, nothing on vaguely recent nodes. And there&#x27;s just so so much more than cores at stake. Power management, coherency fabric, there&#x27;s so many other things mobile chips are great at, tuned at.<p>It&#x27;s just wild that there&#x27;s literally no one else out there.
