Interesting, not long a go AMD said they would make ARM chips if people wanted them.

It hasn’t yet - it’s been opposed by the EU at the moment.
Makes sense - I wouldn’t want the deal to go through. Can’t see it being a good thing for the market.
Hasn't gone through yet. They still trying to sort out red tape. EU isn't happy with it.
Yeah, Nvidia are no better for ARM than China, Nvidia have a long history in buying out companies with IP used by multiple vendors only to lock that IP down for themselves, they have the right to do that if they buy the company or its IP, but then if the industry doesn't like that happening then it also has the right to stop Nvidia
I would quite like to see all the big players take a stake in ARM, not just Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Apple but anyone who has interest in them so that includes Microsoft, Amazon and so on. There are lots of open standard entities where all these big players are patrons and it works very well, no reason why it couldn't also work for ARM.

You could and should also apply that to TSMC, they are the leading foundry and based in Tiwan, they made it crystal clear whose side they are on by dumping HiSilicon (Huawei) but if China take full control of Tiwan, which is not a matter of if but when. TSMC will be ####'##
TSMC are setting up in the US and Germany, no doubt with the intention of dumping the Tiwan foundry the instant China takes over.
AMD were license holders a long time before Nvidia even started sniffing about. 2014 I think? They might even be perpetual license holders like Apple.
You're right, since 2014, I'm not sure about the nature of that licensing but as of last year some commentators seemed to be of the impression that Apple and AMD are actually the only two permanent ARM licence holders.
AMD have launched an ARM chip once before, The Opteron A1100 but it was not well received, like most things AMD in the mid 2010's, maybe they want to put that right.
