> no uses RISC-V anyway

Here is an article from a company called Qualcomm from two years ago saying that they had, at that time, already shipped 650 million RISC-V cores.

I notice that the three benefits they flag for RISC-V are: flexibility, control, and visibility.

I wonder how they felt about "control" after ARM tried to stop them from commercializing the value of their Nuvia acquisition? I wonder if it had anything to do with their next big acquisition being RISC-V based instead?

I also wonder, why on their Oryon page does Qualcomm never meanion ARM. Not even once. Even to the question, is Oryon x86, they do not answer that it is ARM. Why not?
