| I was wondering who convinced ARM to manufacture hardware. Turns out it was Meta. |

| Now if only they would go back to being "Acorn RISC Machines" and make a nice desktop home computer again... One can dream. |

| ▲ | cmrdporcupine 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I have the ASUS variant. I like it well enough. I see the NIC as a form of future proofing, but we'll see. My Ryzen 9 mini-PC from 2 years ago outperforms this thing in raw CPU Though. |

| Fabless. Like AMD and Nvidia. So I would think about it more as branding and packaging than Manufacturing |

| ▲ | IshKebab 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | There's a big difference between just providing IP and actually doing the physical design, manufacturing and packaging. You can't just send your RTL to TSMC and magically get packaged chips back. I haven't ever ordered an ARM SoC but I also wouldn't be surprised if there were significant parts that they left up to integrators before - PLLs, pads, SRAM etc. |
