Qualcomm accuses Arm of anticompetitive conduct as its license is terminated due to 'repeated material breaches of Arm's license agreement'

  I think it’s pretty clear that Qualcomm were trying to leverage the purchase of a company that had patents ARM had an agreement with.
  Qualcomm has a long history of being a patent license nazi, Arm does not. So I have no doubt which side I believe more in this.

    Now that you mention it, this is probably the first time ARM has licensing issue ever.

      This isn’t the first time ARM has gone to court over licensing. In fact, the last time was against Qualcomm and its fees dealing with its Nuvia.

    This definitely smells of Qualcomm being cheap. It’s got to be so bad that Arm has finally had enough. Wild.

  Sounds like Qualcomm finally got a taste of FAFO

    Just in case there are other ignorant people like me who had to look it up:
    FAFO = Fuck Around & Find Out.

      Oh good cause I was thinking “first in, first out” and thought ARM had sex with Qualcomm

  I’m not a huge fan of Qualcomm as a company, but what the hell will be in my next flagship phone I’m planning to buy next summer? Some weird chinese chipset? Or crappy Google CPU?

    Dimensity 9400 is spectacular. the 9300 was very good too, but the new 9400 is amazing. It fully matches Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 4)

    It even beats it narrowly on battery, which used to be the strongest point of Snapdragon over Dimensity.

    Google’s fine. They’re using ARM cores that are built on Samsung’s shittier manufacturing process. Next year they’re going TSMC which should improve power consumption dramatically. The lauded Dimensity 4000 also uses ARM cores, just newer and built on TSMC’s process. By the same token, newer Google SoCs should experience similar performance as they update the cores and manufacturing.

    MediaTek 9400 fits within 10% of Snapdragon 8 Elite, so if you don’t intend to load a custom ROM, I’d say there are options.

      I’m never on stock ROM. That’s the problem
