What is the impact on Apple if NVIDIA were to buy ARM?

[scottkendall]

Im not arguing, I just want to know where you got this info. Last I checked it was both companies blaming each other....

The simple answer is apple wanted more control Nivida did not want to give it or fix their driver. The discussion about Nvidia web driver and its problems are discussed in many places on tony mac. There are a lot of other factors and this thread is not the place for them, much of the discussion about nvidia apple war was moved to another thread by the moderators.

Im just hoping some how, some way, with nvidia acquiring ARM, apple and nvidia will figure something out for the 3000 series GPUs. Im not holding my breath. I think I am going to have to go with AMD on my next build. I'm still on High Sierra

Nvidia press release basically said they are keeping the GPU and the ARM markets separate. As I understand it from an outward appearance they are only combined Nvidia and ARM in the profit collum otherwise the two entities will be acting individually. At least that is what they are trying to sell to the regulators. Apples and Nvidia relationship as it pertains to ARM is that Nvidia will sit back and collect licencing fees from apple but the perpetual licences that is currently in place will remain intact.

Rediscovering RISC-V: Apple M1 sparks renewed interest in non-x86 architectures | ZDNet

With the runaway success of the new ARM-based M1 Macs, non-x86 architectures are getting their closeup. RISC-V is getting the most attention from system designers looking to horn-in on Apple's recipe for high performance. Here's why.

Looks like the 2020s will be an ARMs race to catch up with Apple.

As impressed as I am with Apples chip, I still believe that if intel stopped messing around and got off that 14nm crap let's say just 7nm not even 5 it would likely stomp apples M1 and AMD into the ground. Maybe I am wrong and maybe they will crash and burn and never get 7nm off the ground. But if they do it will likely be a much more powerful chip but once again maybe I am wrong.

AMD is just now beating them with 7nm+ Intel could stomp them but they better hurry before ARM takes over completely. In the long run high watt CPUs will be regulated out of business, they require too many cow fart energy equivalents to operate.
I do have my doubts about these ARM chips, how many years will they last? Will they just be disposable computers that get trashed every 2-3 years?
