The Acorn/Arm history is somewhat complicated due to the Arm IPO, I think.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this is incorrect per moderator dang at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43765252:
> On HN, dupeness is more a question of whether the underlying story is substantively the same or not
I believe dang's most recent in-depth explanation can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43738815 and you can search for more at https://hn.algolia.com?query=author%3Adang+dupe&sort=byDate&...
Submissions of the same exact URL are automatically merged into the previous discussion server side, and are discouraged for about a year.
By your logic, there shouldn't be a gazillion posts about Apple Events the day it happens.
But sometimes two long discussions ensue on separate days for one event/product/announcement, if it's big enough. Often the discussions are merged later on. No big deal.
Which is why, even if it is a duplicate conversation, the mods generally allow things to play out organically. There's either going to be more discussion above, or people have already said their peace and we move on.
> I agree—they're not all the same story. On the other hand: stories in an ongoing sequence usually lead to repetitive discussion, which is bad for HN
Guess at the end of the day, no-one ever got fired for building ARM.
That's what happened here. Meta wants a Neoverse V3 CPU but no one will make it for them. So Arm has to make it.
> Like nearly all fabless AI chipmakers, Arm currently manufactures its CPU at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company ’s fabrication plants.
Now ARM for the first time (this century) is making its own chip [design], which like most of its customers, is manufactured by a fab like TSMC.
The title is clear.
