That's the beginning of the "serious" risc-v era :)Orfosaurio - Thursday, October 19, 2023 - link
Maybe, but recall the history of Qualcomm on wearables.PeachNCream - Thursday, October 19, 2023 - link
To be fair, I believe a lot of us see leaving ARM behind as a RISCy venture.lemurbutton - Wednesday, October 18, 2023 - link
Say what you want about Qualcomm but they're masters at getting a lot of royalties (from customers) and reducing royalties (to ARM).This is no doubt a ploy to put pressure on ARM to give favorable terms in their next agreement and the ongoing Nuvia lawsuit.

So you think that the Apple Watch SiP is the lowest level Apple can go with their cores? Thanks for the site and the answer.
