A comment yesterday in the other thread mentions that ARM currently sells their ARM CPU plus Mali GPU IP in a single package. Buying the IP together is much cheaper than buying just the CPU IP. This is why nearly every ARM CPU maker uses the Mali cores, and why PowerVR as a company is nearly dead.

Reading this comment from Huang, I read it as if Nvidia wants to sell this package, but with Geforce IP instead of Mali IP.




Minor nit: Architecture and not “Package”, the latter has specific meaning. ARM defines not just instruction set, but also the architecture - Core, Memory layout, peripheral busses, etc.


Ahh, the old comcast TV+Internet is cheaper than just Internet trick....
