The Arm lawsuit against Qualcomm over Nuvia/Oryon will start next year, very likely before the S8G4 launches, though that lawsuit could drag on into 2025. Its bold of Qualcomm to merge Nuvia designs into mobile this quick, as a lot of people are expecting Arm to win the case, or get Qualcomm to settle in Arm’s favor, both would be disastrous for Oryon/Nuvia based products.

Probably switching to RISC-V, Manu Gulati is a Nuvia founder.
Lol, no they won’t. As a Qualcomm shareholder, the RSIC-V love shown lately by the company is just a way to put some pressure on ARM to give it favorable terms. That’s it. Qualcomm is not going to switch away from ARM. Maybe for small pet projects.
How will it be disastrous? Worst case they have to pay more for license
A lot of people were crediting Nuvia with the SD8 Gen 3 beating the A17 on multicore and GPU and the single core gap being smaller than in a decade, but that was just ARM’s reference X4 core, not the new Nuvia stuff that as this says will come with Gen 4.
Are they still 3-4 years behind Apple, or are they getting their act together?
