Apple-ARM Deal BonkersMannerisms - David MannersOct. 19, 2015 |
The idea of Apple buying ARM is bonkers.
ARM's great value to Apple, and to the world, is that it proliferates a microprocessor architecture around the globe which means that Apple's products can work with everyone else's products and everyone else's products can work with everybody else's products.
If Apple bought ARM everyone else would stop using ARM because no one wants to see a repeat of the Intel situation in which one manufacturing company owned a dominant architecture which became sole-sourced.
