this is a sad news.

adoption of ARM just started to pick up in server & laptop market, it could be a nice alternative to x86, yet short sighted decisions like this from ARM is going to cause huge uncertainties.

RISC-V is great, I am all for it, but let's be realistic, many people including myself have been waiting for 2 decades to see the current upward trend of ARM in servers & laptops, how many extra years we will have to wait for RISC-V to catch up and get to ARM's current position? An extra 5-10 years? Intel must be laughing!

As an ex-ARM & ex-Qualcomm employee - middle finger for both companies, you greedy licensing bitch.

5-10 years isn't that long. I guess it depends on the management philosophy, but if someone told me I would my company would be losing a large market share in 5-10 years I would be panicking.

ARM was starting to pick up, but that's not happening anymore.

It is a good thing, as we can skip ARM and go straight to RISC-V.
