ARM cuts ties with Huawei, threatening future chip designs
A major blow to Huawei
Chip designer ARM has suspended business with Huawei, threatening the Chinese company’s ability to create its own chips. BBC News reports that ARM employees have been instructed to halt “all active contracts, support entitlements, and any pending engagements” with Huawei due to the US trade ban.
Oh shit, this is the final death blow to Huawei's smartphone division if Beijing doesn't work out a deal ASAP with Washington to lift the ban.
Every modern SoC for smartphones in the world are based on ARM's latest designs, be it Apple's Bionic, Qualcomm's Snapdragon, Samsung's Exynos, Huawei's Kirin, or MediaTek's Helio.
