It can be really bad for the industry if ARM is both a producer of chips and the gatekeeper within the ARM ecosystem. I don't know if there are laws against this or loopholes through them, but what is going to prevent them from just withholding license or technologies to push competition out?

This will accelerate riscv adoption and be the end of arm

Or at least their $180B market cap

I don't know about the end of arm, but I otherwise agree

I would think, in the US, antitrust laws would apply.

Is this different from Intel and x86 architecture? (Genuinely asking)

Or AMD as well. They make custom configs for clients (Steam Deck, XBox, PS5), as well as their own fish direct competitors.

So yeah, RISCV?

ARM is brittish

yes the ARM architecture is it's own thing, licensed by ARM.

I think what they meant by that is "is this different wrt antitrust compared to Intel and x86?"

Intel both owns the x86 ISA and designs processors for it, though the situation is more favorable in that AMD owns x86-64 and obviously also designs their own processors.
