What is the Qualcomm vs Arm battle that could have huge implications on future laptops, phones
India TodayThe legal battle between Qualcomm and Arm over the acquisition of chip startup Nuvia has escalated into a high-stakes dispute that could reshape the chip market and disrupt the longstanding industry dynamics. However, the case also holds major implications for Qualcomm’s future in the laptop market, its relationship with Arm, and the broader chip ecosystem that relies heavily on Arm’s architecture. The acquisition of Nuvia and the use of its technology could allow Qualcomm to create chips tailored for Windows devices, offering an alternative to Intel’s x86 architecture and Apple’s ARM-based silicon. However, if Arm prevails, Qualcomm may be forced to abandon its plans to use Nuvia’s designs, which would further cement Apple’s dominance in the chip market.
