The Turbulent Future of Arm: Can RISC-V Take on the Challenge?

According to reports from Electronic Enthusiasts Network (by Zhou Kaiyang), there have been numerous reports claiming that Nvidia's exclusive acquisition negotiations for Arm have entered the final stages, with related parties stating that the transaction could be completed as early as late summer this year. As an architecture that supplies billions of chips to the market each year, this news has raised concerns about Arm's position, and its open-source competitor RISC-V has begun to emerge in people's minds.

As the dominant

Understanding ARM Architecture and Processors

2. ARM Architecture and Processors

ARM does not manufacture silicon devices. Instead, ARM creates microprocessor designs that are licensed to semiconductor companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who integrate them into system-on-chip (SoC) devices.

To ensure compatibility between different implementations, ARM defines architectural specifications that dictate how compliant products should behave. Processors implementing the ARM architecture must conform to specific versions of the architecture.

The ARM architecture supports implementations across a very wide range of performance points. Its simplicity allows for very small
