This is encouraging, but perhaps unsurprising, given the uncertainty surrounding the Nvidia-Arm deal.
A lot of companies are viewing RISC-V as a contingency plan for if the deal goes ahead : joining the foundation, hiring designers with RISC-V experience and contributing to the development of the ISA. My hope is: they’ll start seeing RISC-V as the better solution, going forward.
The takeover bid has weakened Arm’s claim of impartiality and the only way for them to heal that, so far as I can see, is for Arm to be an independent company again (or for them to open source the ISA!)
