Arm Holdings plc plans to cancel a license that gives Qualcomm Inc. permission to use its instruction set architecture in chips. Bloomberg reported the development today. Qualcomm, the world’s ...

Rather than extend its 32-bit instruction set, Arm offers a clean 64-bit implementation. To accomplish this, the ARMv8 architecture uses two execution states, AArch32 and AArch64.

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...

The instruction set might have been small, but the implications were massive. The ARM V1, the first chip of its kind when it ...

The x86 architecture, developed by Intel in the 1980s, is a complex instruction set computer architecture, whereas Arm is a reduced instruction set computer architecture.

In 2019, Arm granted Nuvia two licenses: the Technology License Agreement (TLA) and Architecture License Agreement (ALA) one to modify its existing cores and another to design custom cores.

Companies can license the instruction set and create their own CPU designs or license one of Arm's ready-made Cortex CPU core designs to incorporate into their own chips.

The x86 and Arm architectures are the best-known real-world examples. But from 2025 onwards, you’ll be able to buy a computer where everything within is open and customizable.

OS 26 brings a significant upgrade to the Apple Watch's architecture, transitioning the latest models to full arm64. The ...

The instruction set might have been small, but the implications were massive. The ARM V1, the first chip of its kind when it was first tested in 1985, had only 27,000 transistors compared to the ...
