minus-squareerwanlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 months agoNo it’s not, anyone can get a license to create an ARM chipset but you do need to pay for a license.

minus-squareerwanlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·3 months agoIt’s neither. It’s a specification that you can use to build your own chip. So it’s more like MPEG where you can read the doc and create your own implementation.

Yes, on the licensing front RISC-V is better.
