COMMENT As Qualcomm tries to fight off a lawsuit from Arm demanding Qualcomm destroy its custom cores, the Snapdragon giant has signaled it may have a bigger future with RISC-V.
And that’s all while Qualcomm criticized an “existing legacy architecture” for having useless features and not meeting certain requirements.
At the RISC-V Summit this week, Qualcomm Director of Product Management Manju Varma said RISC-V, an emerging alternative to the proprietary Arm instruction set architecture, has opportunities across a range of devices Qualcomm designs chips for, from wearables and smartphones to laptops and connected cars.
