What the hell does that title mean? That sentence is so malformed.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Understanding the headline requires prior knowledge of the industry and ARM specifically.

Even without reading the article, I know that ARM is one of the only CPU companies I know of that designs CPUs but doesn't actually manufacture any of them for sale themselves. They license their CPU designs to other companies that use them in their own products which is why Apple can make their M silicon ARM CPUS for iOS devices and Qualcomm can their Snapdragon CPUs smartphone CPUs.

What this article headline is saying that ARM, for the first time, is manufacturing its own CPUs and not just licensing their tech to others to do so. Further, ARM is apparently poaching employees from their licensees that have ARM CPU knowledge to do it.

Even still you wouldn’t say “Arm’s”

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I'm not defending the grammar. It is/was horrible. I was saying it was possible to understand what the headline was trying to communicate if you had knowledge of the industry.

It seems like OP added that 's for some reason. That's not included in the article title.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In defense of OP, OP didn't add that by themselves. I saw the article when it was first linked and it had the apostrophe "s" in there just like OP's headline. So the headline was corrected at the source after OP posted it here.

Looks like TomsHardware is conspiring against OP to make them look like an idiot.

None of this makes the sentence less cumbersome. I understand what ARM does. I understand their relationship with other companies.

The sentence is objectively awful.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't say it wasn't cumbersome, but your first post said you didn't understand what it was communicating. Do you now understand what the headline was communicating?

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 6 months ago

I understand the article.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

It is two articles in a trenchcoat. One is about Arm making CPU's. The other is about Arm poaching talent from companies it currently sells to.

Instead of posting two articles with two different links about Arm Toms decided one was enough.

Arm reportedly to start competing with its own customers this year.

A few decades ago, this used to be a sure recipe for losing customers and marketshare, but the world has changed, maybe because the chip market lacks real competition, of course there is competition, but the number of players are too few, and they are too specialized for direct competition.

Makes sense, they must be sick of their data center designs going unused, on top of all the consolidation going on.

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

This is good for RISC-V.

Self-designed. Self-made is a stretch. It doesn’t look like they’re opening a foundry.

[–] nixcamic@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean by that measure AMD doesn't make chips either...

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah they don't, since they are fabless. Same as Nvidia or Apple. They all design chips.
