Not really about Apple, but...
"Nvidia in Advanced Talks to Buy SoftBank’s Chip Company Arm"
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a…
This would mean the Apple transition to ARM would be bumpy.
Bid accordingly...
- Don’t you think Apple would’ve bought ARM if they thought it was necessary?NBQ00
- They are approaching $200 billy in cash reserves. But is not the money, I see this as favouritism from Softbank for unknown reasons.grafician
- But really, this should be concerning, as ARM has all the patents and nVidia will not be sharing after Apple chose ATIgrafician
- Apple is going their own way even for GPU’s, duh. It’s both CPU & GPU on Apple’s own Silicon.NBQ00
- Also it’s not ATI anymore, since ages. It’s fucking AMD. And Apple is going to switch to their own GPU based silicon in next years anyway :)NBQ00
- For the next 2 years Apple is going to switch most of their Macs to Apple Silicon ARM based, both CPU & GPU. Then also Mac Pro will follow.NBQ00
- Research CPU patents, ARM has many cards and is licensing to everybody now, but if nVidia get the patents, it will be a lot of fighting.grafician
- Apple is producing its own silicon, but still licensing ARM tech - research for it, everybody is tied to ARMgrafician
- Big big moves in this space, very weird year in techgrafician
- ARM is a fabless chip designer, they design the systems and license them out. I doubt this change of ownership would do anything.zarkonite
- They can't make it harder for one company to license it than another. That would be illegal.monospaced
- @mono but certainly ask for more money and that's like the same thinggrafician
- they can't ask more from one company than another, thats' unfairmonospaced
