Report: ARM is for sale and Nvidia’s interested, Apple isn’t
can someone explain how ARM as a business works?<p>My understanding is, they design the specification of the ARM assembly language, and the design of the hardware (not individual chip fab but like... abstractly, somehow?)<p>But if they specify the design of the hardware, why would one chipmaker have faster/better CPUs if they are using the same spec as another chipmaker with slower/worse CPUs?<p>What's the business model?  Do they get paid per ARM chip sold, or yearly for the rights to sell ARM chips, etc?
