In March of 2021, ARM Holdings announced that the latest instruction set architecture (ISA) for smartphones was ready. Its name is ARMv9. What is ARMv9? What is an instruction set architecture and why is it important? Who is ARM? ARM Holdings are the brains behind nearly all the mobile SoCs seen today on smartphones. They […]

In today’s post, we’re going to look at why Qualcomm opposes Nvidia’s takeover of ARM. As we all should know by now, ARM or Advanced RISC Machine is the company that has a monopoly on all Smartphone chipset design. All Smartphone SoC designs and instruction sets belongs to them. All inclusive, even Apple’s Bionic too. […]
