ARM Cancels Qualcomm's License

ARM's decision to cancel Qualcomm's architecture license represents a significant shift in the semiconductor industry. This license was crucial for Qualcomm to design chips, although it can still produce ARM-compatible chips using instruction sets. The implications of this move could disrupt Qualcomm's operations, as a majority of their current chips rely on ARM's designs. Despite this, Qualcomm appears to be pivoting towards alternatives, evidenced by their recent announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which does not follow ARM's architecture.
