@themaxus @saagar Arm Limited have capable core designs but the SoCs incorporating them available on the market are another matter

@hikari @themaxus Disagree. Compare Cortex-A710 to, say, M2 or A16: the difference is frequently more than 20% on every microarchitectural detail

@saagar @themaxus yeah i knew what i said was wishful thinking actually. we're in a weird place where only Apple can build a good Arm-based laptop :(

@hikari @saagar @themaxus Nuvia 🙏

@osy86 @hikari @themaxus Remember when Arm was so confident in their capable core designs that they sued Qualcomm over their architecture license in an attempt to stop them using Nuvia talent for new processors

@saagar @themaxus @osy86 i think it would be more accurate to say the lawsuit is a way to get a higher license fee, but i don't know anything you don't

@hikari @themaxus @osy86 The lawsuit is to make their $50 billion IPO this month seem justified but I also have no special information and you should definitely treat this as investment advice

@hikari @osy86 @themaxus Look I’ll believe the chips when I see them but all I know is both Intel and AMD are doing a pretty decent job and Nuvia only seems to exist internally at the moment

@themaxus @hikari Servers typically use a different class of processor from laptops. ARM on servers is (slowly) gaining traction but typically because it’s cheaper or more efficient or you have a very special workload that takes advantage of the architecture.
