"Orange Z1? Apple, Huawei, and the Huake Science Association all bought architecture licenses? Damn it! No wonder Apple's suddenly playing hardball!"
In an office at the ARM Headquarters in Cambridge, a group of well-dressed, balding, middle-aged British men were cursing angrily, their faces grim.
The news of Hua Country's first independently developed instruction set technology spread like wildfire throughout the semiconductor industry the moment it was announced.
If Apple, Huawei, and the Huake Science Association hadn't purchased architecture licenses, ARM would never have given the Orange Z1 a second thought.
But these three companies weren't stupid. The fact that they were willing to shell out the money to buy it was enough to prove that the Orange Z1's coding efficiency and power-to-performance ratio were, at the very least, on par with the ARM architecture.
In the eyes of a businessman, there is only profit!
