Discussion ARM vs Qualcomm: The Lawsuit Begins

IIRC, Intel was unhappy about Arm devices emulating even just x86 when the Snapdragon 835 was launching on Windows 10. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/06/intel-fires-warning-shots-at-microsoft-claims-x86-emulation-is-a-patent-minefield/...

Discussion ARM vs Qualcomm: The Lawsuit Begins

That appeared very weird, even to me who's tried to keep up with the case. If I remember, I'll go back to the deposition and look for this slip. Slip of tongue or slip of memory or slip of truth? But, surely, the documents should be obvious: I don't think both of them cancelled the ALA at the...

Discussion ARM vs Qualcomm: The Lawsuit Begins

No, you're right, PA Semi was PowerPC. I was thinking of Apple acquiring Intrinsity, who had a deal with Arm, but my memory was again wrong: Intrinsity optimized Arm's cores, but I don't see evidence they actually had an Arm ALA. I think that scratches out AgniLux, too, as there's so little on...

Discussion ARM vs Qualcomm: The Lawsuit Begins

I admit this is my baseline understanding. Because other Arm ALA licensees have been bought / sold without any of this. But, in the end, we need to see the ALAs and, well, go through litigation to interpret what the ALAs mean. Intel absorbed StrongARM from DEC. Apple bought PA Semi Intrinsity...

Discussion ARM vs Qualcomm: The Lawsuit Begins

Time has flown by. Thank you for making a dedicated thread. I saw a CNBC story pop up in my feed and completely forgot this is the week. I haven't read the latest documents yet, as I thought there were some (Court-ordered) settlement negotiations, but those fell through. And, definitely do not...

Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread

The Court docket shows a hearing this Wednesday (30 October); this might be the earlier motions re: expunging certain expert testimony and / or summary judgments. Though, perhaps something fresh regarding the recent Qualcomm ALA cancellation notice. Unfortunately, it often takes weeks to get...

This is the Arm bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch/6FnBz8rxWUY So, unless something massive comes from the summary judgments, we are likely to see a trial (which is helpful to to expose / explain / reveal what actually happened, as much is still redacted). Settlements, presumably, only...

Ah, haha, sheer luck I saw it pop up. Ah, wait, you're right: somehow I assumed 8 Elite was 2+4, but it's 2+6. Thank you for correcting me.

Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread

I've not been following the Court case recently (maybe I need to again!), but this cancelling license news is ... interestingly timed. It may relate to QC's Summit confirming Oryon-derivative cores are in 8 Elite, with likely much higher shipping volume than X Elite (aka Arm's lawyers thinking...

Geekerwan's full video on 8 Elite has been posted to YouTube: The perf / W 1T curves of 8 Elite vs D9400 are surprisingly close, even with Qualcomm's much higher frequency and slight overall 1T perf win. SPECint2017: SPECfp2017: // Then to GB6 nT, 8 Elite is another world of perf / W...

A curious rumor. I believe publicly since June 2024, Arm's X925 Technical Reference Manual confirmed it does not support SME: CTRL / ⌘ F "SME": Perhaps next or next year.
