It can be really bad for the industry if ARM is both a producer of chips and the gatekeeper within the ARM ecosystem. I don’t know if there are laws against this or loopholes through them, but what is going to prevent them from just withholding license or technologies to push competition out?

This will accelerate riscv adoption and be the end of arm
Or at least their $180B market cap
I would think, in the US, antitrust laws would apply.
Is this different from Intel and x86 architecture? (Genuinely asking)
ARM is brittish
yes the ARM architecture is it’s own thing, licensed by ARM.
Or AMD as well. They make custom configs for clients (Steam Deck, XBox, PS5), as well as their own fish direct competitors.
So yeah, RISCV?
