Arm going public after $66 billion Nvidia buy deal falls apart
larryjw said:I don't see a problem with an IPO. What will ARM be worth on the market? How will that affect companies using ARM? Apple can buy a piece. We can all buy pieces.
Of course, there is competition. The Open RISC-V. There's a lot more infrastructure that must be built around RISC-V to become a competitor to ARM, but pushing out ARM into the wild by itself might make RISC-V more viable.
On the other hand, RISC-V has the real danger of producing an infinite variety of one-off clones all incompatible with each other. ARM, at least, controls the roadmap of its development.
I'm not sure Apple adheres to that roadmap for ARM, given its version of the processor outcompetes other versions of ARM. The Broadcom and TI versions of ARM are not something to write home about. -

Apple adds original Apple Watch to list of vintage products
dewme said:It's pretty amazing that these buggers are still functioning quite nicely. I still have my original Apple Watch even though I've upgraded to the Series 5.Any ideas for repurposing these older watches for some other purpose? -
