Arm Sues Qualcomm Over Nuvia CPU!
When Qualcomm bought Nuvia in January 2021 it needed to renegotiate Nuvia's license with Arm. Arm and Qualcomm couldn't strike a deal, so Arm was forced to terminate Nuvia license. According to Arm this means that the laptop CPU that Qualcomm is designing is unauthorized!

Sorry about the sub-par audio everyone. There was an audio recording issue with this one. The next one will be better. If you have seen my previous videos you know that this isn't a general set up issue, I don't need to buy a tie-mic, or add echo dampening or whatever. This was a one-off problem that won't happen again. Thanks for your support and understanding 👍👍

@@NicVandEmZ .. Apple paid a huge amount for its licence as ARM has a market volume pricing model, and the M1 is a laptop and desktop consumer chip, so a huge market. Nuvia was a niche server chip originally, that developed an illegal consumer chip and sold itself to Qualcomm on this basis (hence the inflated price paid)). Qualcomm then tried to pass this chip off as one of its own, covered by its consumer chip license.. -- If this precedent is set ARM will have a major headache expanding its market (at a time when competition is set to takeover its market (model) via Risc-V) as granting small start-ups like Nuvia a cheap license can easily be abused by other companies. The potential losses if this happened are huge. ARM has to stand firm and make sure it grabs what it can while it still can, because its days are numbered as it stands, sadly.

- Use an x86 then or open source RISC. They exist lolol. - Nothing is stopping companies from making their own architecture. They use ARM's because they're good. They can make their own OSes for their ISA while they're at it too. Don't forget ARM wasnt much until 2007 either under the existing patent laws you hate. - ARM grants a license to pretty much anybody who requests it based with fee based on their company and product size. That is their whole business model. As a result big and small companies can work with them. Compare this to Intel, where only AMD and 1-2 more companies hold an x86 license (AMD wouldn't even hold it if they didn't invent 64-bif x86). Even then ARM licensed companies compete with each other to offer the best product for reasonable price. - Patent laws only last 15 years, it's pretty reasonable standard for inventions. If they can't make a profit off their inventions (cos people can copy easily) than nobody is going to invest in them. Hardware developement is also quite costly compared to software.

ARM can't compel a company to delete their own data. Nuvia could have created a patch file that contains only their changes to the ARM source materials, call it 100% original work. Then apply the patch to Qualcomm's source materials. ARM is in the wrong here. They keep hanging on to the "licenses do not transfer" aspect of the contract. Qualcomm doesn't need to transfer the license because they have their own. Qualcomm purchased knowledge and employee contracts. Qualcomm used their knowledge and their workers to create a chip design with their license. I've heard nothing to suggest any different.

Exactly, it's monopolistic behavior by ARM or rather by NVidia. It's Qualcomm selling the chips, and the architectural license the finished new design is submitted under is Qualcomm's. It's utterly irrelevant how Qualcomm did that development and the code is known to have been developed under a live and legitimate architectural license. The license does not attach to the engineers who are free by law to work in their own profession. Ann Chaplin is correct and not only should they win, Nvidia should be forced to spin off ARM into proper consortium ownership.

From my understanding, AMD's 64 bit instruction set was so good that Intel dropped their own implementation (Itanium) and had to license AMD's. Which resulted in a cross licensing agreement. Mainly because AMD's x64 instruction set was backwards compatible with x86 instructions, while Itanium was not. So obviously no one wanted abandon all the legacy code written for x86 and Itanium flopped on it's face. I guess my point is this, AMD might have had a similar issue, but they also had a solution that both AMD and Intel desperately needed. The only ARM customer that could possibly be in such a position today is probably Apple.

I can’t fathom how any of the comments here can side with Qualcomm. The same company that scuffled with Apple and somehow came out looking like the worse company. This amounts to Qualcomm trying to screw ARM over and getting a cheaper deal. They know full well that selling laptop chips under the Qualcomm name means way larger units sold than selling server chips under the newly established Nuvia. The terms would obviously need to be different. Yet rather than re-negotiate, they chose to let Nuvia’s license get terminated and went ahead with their chips anyway. They probably knew they would get sued and plan on dragging this case out until ARM can’t afford it and is forced to re-negotiate. As for ARM being “monopolistic”, keep in mind that Qualcomm has a market cap of 144B and ARM has a cap of around 30B. And Qualcomm are the ones who broke the terms.

RISC-V won't change situations like this. If SiFive or Imagination licenses its designs or IP to a client and that client breaches those terms there will be legal action. RISC-V doesn't alter that because while the RISC-V specification is open the designs and IP created around that specification aren't.
Will more companies move to RISC-V, due to this lawsuit. I know there were talks about that when nVidia was in talks to buy ARM.

Does not matter who is right or wrong; if a vendor sues their client, it WILL backfire in the long run. Take Oracle and IBM - probably the two most hated companies in the IT industry right now because they try so squeeze every last sent they can out of their clients - not by upselling - but by threatening/legally. Everyone is actively working to get these two out of their ecosystems as a result. Microsoft used to be like that under Balmer but completely different under Stadya and actually people starting to like them - i.e. buying their stuff - as a result (Heck, Azure is gaining on the back of AWS’s decline).

This 'Buying a company for it's license' seems to work in the PC market for x86 and how many times names like VIA, Cyrix etc have been prized commodities specifically FOR their x86 licensing. I guess the x86 example in question must be perpetual where as ARM licensing (even for products they have very little do do with designing) is much more strict. ARM will end up the 'Bad Guy' in this situation, pointing more Chip developers to IBM's Core IP.

If that is what the license that Nuvia signed stated, then how can Arm be the bad guy for enforcing the terms of the contract? If your employer got bought and your new boss changed the terms of your employment without notice and without your agreement, you are saying that you should just accept it since the company got bought. I doubt you would accept that.
Every party needs more money, no one agrees with other's terms, don't know but seems like Apple had a fingering in this situation, atleast nuvia might be in better position if used RISC-V.
Meanwhile, potential customers suffer. A potentially good processor will either be delayed or kept from the market altogether, probably because Arm's management got greedy.

Just stop Qualcomm to produce cpu using arm tech. It will stop Qualcomm overnight.
What a mess. Arm's licensing really kills off the idea of a small and nimble company creating something in the hopes of selling themselves to a larger company, something which happens in other tech areas all the time. It really gives Arm WAY too much leverage when one company acquires another.

A small company like Nuvia selling server chips is a completely different ballpark than Qualcomm selling laptop chips in terms of units sold. The terms would not be the same had Qualcomm designed their own ARM chips for laptops without Nuvia, so why should they be the same now? This is just Qualcomm being the shitty company they have always been. I can’t imagine any other company trying to pull this stunt
Basically ARM can render the whole acquisition useless. In this instance it just doesn't make sense.
it is common sense that if both companies have the license, and they are not doing something that not agreed with ARM, then what the hell!!

And yes, Qualcomm lawyers should though about this and made it clear with ARM lawyers before they bought the other company.
Making Arm basically able to ask ridiculous prices or Nuvia becomes little more then an empty package.

Some lawyers are about to get fired at Qualcomm because this Arm has a hand and it has Qualcomm by the balls.

In theory Nuvia can come to market exactly as planned, unless ARM seeks an injunction, but in reality ARM will probably let everything proceed and then (if successful) seek their licensing fee on each core sold before they win the judgment, and then moving forward after that it'll be built in.
