Arm releases first in-house chip, with Meta as debut customer

Arm came from Acorn and Acorn did make the first ARM CPUs for their computers, so it's not really the first time they do this.

They made the Morello research CPUs, but did not sell them.

The Acorn/Arm history is somewhat complicated due to the Arm IPO, I think.

		One can split hairs about the corporate responsibility, but I personally bought a VLSI ARM chip in the 90s. VLSI were one of the original 3 partners (along with Apple and Acorn) who owned the newly formed ARM corp and were the first to produce them (for Apple).

That is not a dupe

I think it is. The launch announcement explicitly says the same thing, “Meta is our lead partner and customer”.

On HN, dupe means duplicate discussion for the same link
