Microsoft's push into AI-centric notebooks isn't great for gamers, as they can't play most of their games on the ARM-based chips inside the latest Copilot+ PCs. This is a problem that will be beneficial to Apple Silicon gaming.
Decades ago, Apple started down a path that has revolutionized both its own products and the entire technology industry. Here's where Apple Silicon began, and where it's going.
Following Arm's recent initial public offering, it has reportedly been unsuccessfully pressing Apple to pay more than $0.30 per iPhone for its intellectual property.
Apple investing in ARM shares is a good buy for the company, but it's bought before. When it did so in the 1980s, ARM proved to be Apple's life saver.
Not only is Apple investing in ARM's initial public offering in the US, filed paperwork has revealed that the pair have signed a long-term collaboration agreement spanning potentially more than two decades.
The SoftBank-owned Arm is expected to receive considerable investment from Apple and other chip companies as part of its IPO, a report claims, with the introduction to the market now thought to occur in mid-September.
A report pointing to job listings claims that Microsoft wants to take on Apple Silicon more directly — but the company has been hiring ARM engineers for a decade.
Apple has 90% of the market share for ARM computers thanks to Apple Silicon, and analysts expect the ARM computer market to double.
Ten months after Arm filed to transfer ownership of its Arm China subsidiary to Softbank so it could pull out of the country, Chinese regulators are reportedly delaying the paperwork in order to keep the country's connection to the chip design firm.
New research says that ARM-based computers including Apple Silicon are doing fairly well in a collapsing global PC market, as the market does a slow shift away from Intel-based processors.
The UK government is reportedly hinting it may use national security laws to force Arm to hold its IPO on the London markets instead of in the US.
Arms plan for an IPO may already be in trouble before it's even started, as a long-running dispute with its division in China could endanger Softbank's offloading of the chip firm.
Nvidia backed off the purchase of Arm after facing a difficult regulatory environment, but the new Arm CEO claims that having to go it alone won't hamper plans for the future.
Softbank will take Arm public to unload it, after Nvidia officially stopped its purchase due to concerns from regulators and Arm's current customer base.
Graphics chipmaker Nvidia may be close to giving up on an acquisition of Arm, with slow progress and industry backlash making it tough for the $40 billion deal to complete.
The Federal Trade Commission has sued to block Nvidia's $40 billion acquisition of chip design company Arm, claiming that the deal could stifle innovation and harm competition in the chip market.
The British government has begun a "national security" investigation into Nvidia buying UK-based processor design firm Arm.
Backing up reports from across the technology industry, Arm says that if buyers have not already ordered their devices, they may not get them in time for Christmas.
Nvidia is set to acquire ARM from SoftBank for $40 billion, but UK regulators feel the deal may be anti-competitive and raises national security concerns.
BlackBerry's cybersecurity team has shared a new report that details how to emulate an ARM macOS kernel on Intel chips for Apple Silicon security research.
