These companies have billion to spend on developing a chip so why give that money to arm when they could make their own risc-v chip without royalty fees
- This has probably been in the works for years, and RISC-V’s profile (RVA23) for proper user application support was only released a few days ago.

I have generally negative feelings about big companies getting bigger, but from what I understand about the difference between instruction sets, the transition to ARM is a good thing.
- More competition for CPUs in laptops/desktops/servers is a good thing, especially if these can compete on efficiency.
- What do you mean by understanding the difference between instruction sets?
  
  The number of Assembly instructions needed to do similar things tends to be less on ARM, from my limited understanding. That leads to efficiencies.
