Existing Huawei products not affected by ARM's decision to halt future work

[Feng Leng]

At 4:11, the video says:

"The producers of this video discussed with an ARM executive about the issue whether or not the existing IP licenses to Huawei from ARM will be affected by the US sanctions. The answer is: probably not (official statement to follow)... Huawei already purchased permanent rights to the ARMv8 framework... and so it can independently develop processors based on the ARMv8 framework it already purchased."

ARM knows it will not be able to cancel the IP licenses that it already gave to Huawei. It's like a restaurant cannot ask you to give back the lunch you bought after you paid for it and ate it. Countries around the world will reject ARM's claim if they did that.

Anybody who believes Zionist media claims that Huawei's existing products are affected by ARM's suspending of future partnership is in for a big disappointment

Yes, but they'll be stuck forever with the Kirin 980 and 985. If the license is suspended there won't be a 990, 995, etc. They'll need a non-ARM architecture.

Read the post again: Huawei purchased the rights to build on the ARMv8 architecture for future products -- indefinitely.

Intel has been using x86 architecture for 30 years. Why can't Huawei use ARMv8 for another 30 years? It's like Shakespeare was writing in English. Does that mean no technological progress in the English speaking world has happened since Shakespeare?

Intel owns x86. They can do whatever they want with it.

Well Huawei owns ARMv8 because they are allowed to do whatever they want with it forever. Lunch is paid for and eaten. It's not coming back out.

So how about ARM Cortex-A?

So how about ARM Cortex-A? Wouldn't Huawei be stuck in ARMv8?

I am not an engineer. The video said Mali is outside the scope so Huawei can't use it. They have plenty of time to create their own independent IP for this.

it seems you don't understand what is ISA and microarchitecture.

Bussard, please help your kinsmen.
