    Do you know how much money you have to pay to make a RISC V chip? Even less than that, since it’s free

      Development is never free, especially, if you have to build new knowhow and can not build upon the one they have built at development of ARM chips.

      If it’s that’s easy / cheap then why have they not?

      This is a big ol’ game of bluff from both sides. So, according to you, Qualcomm should call their bluff?
