Since entering the Internet era, the use of chips has become more and more extensive. Smartphones, smart cars and smart homes are all inseparable from the core component of the chip. At present, the mainstream CPUs on the market are dominated by X86 and ARM architectures, and most semiconductor companies have adopted these architectures. ARM may no longer authorize the CPU of semiconductor companies after 2024.

Specifically, from 2024 onwards, as long as Arm-based chips cannot use external GPUs, NPUs, or ISPs. In other words, if you want to use the ARM public version of the CPU starting in 2025, Qualcomm’s Adreno GPU, Samsung’s AMD GPU, and independent NPU and ISP must be abandoned and use the ARM public version. To a certain extent, if this decision is realized, both Qualcomm and Samsung will have to re-examine the chip architecture. In addition, Qualcomm and ARM are currently fighting a lawsuit.
Of course, this news is still spread on the Internet, and it is uncertain whether it is true or not. But it is undeniable that once this decision is implemented, it is bound to have a huge impact on the entire chip industry. Under the influence of the butterfly effect, industries such as mobile phones and automobiles will also be disrupted. As for the extent of this interference, it depends on the response speed of each chip maker. In this regard, many netizens said that if ARM does this, is there any suspicion of monopoly?
