Report: ARM is for sale and Nvidia’s interested, Apple isn’t
can someone explain how ARM as a business works?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?)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?What's the business model?  Do they get paid per ARM chip sold, or yearly for the rights to sell ARM chips, etc?
