#12Are we sure this is published by Arm? The whois and certificates seem a bit anonymous.
The header tags reference a copy of the "infographic" hosted on arm.com: https://www.arm.com:443/-/media/global/company/arm-risc-v-in...

#13Can somebody please verify the authenticity? Why didn't arm use a subdomain of arm.com?

#14"Get the facts"... sounds way to familiar...

#15The hn title could replace «Facts» with «FUD» since this is literally what this campaign is.
I'm a rather uninformed reader, and I would be interested to read about sources that say the facts presented here are wrong, rather than just read "it's a FUD campaign". At the end of the day, no camp rigoursly shared information
As with all FUD campaigns, there's an element of truth. ARM does undoubtedly have a very large ecosystem and more features (RISC-V lacks hardware virtualization for example).
But there are also loads of companies using and producing real RISC-V cores and all the major Linux distros are already shipping on RISC-V. The barrier to entry to RISC-V is far lower since you can quite literally download the cores off github and program them into just about any FPGA (there's even a version which works with an 8k-LUT FPGA that costs $10 in quantity). Or just fire up a qemu RISC-V VM at no cost at all.
As with Linux & Windows servers c.1999, who would you bet on winning in the end?

#17Some of the "facts" here are pretty weak. The "years of security expertise" is not really a feature I'd be proud of given the recent processor-level vulnerabilities that in fact, paint a very different picture about how traditional processor vendors treat security.
Even if there is some validity here, this is in surprisingly poor taste. I've known people who have worked for ARM. I wonder what they think about this.

It is rather desperate. ARM could easily head off RISC-V by releasing a few low end cores under an open source license, but instead they're being disrupted. Rather classic case of the Innovator's Dilemma.
M0 and one memory controller they license are quasi open source. And that's it.

They don't present any facts here. Just some idle speculation about hidden costs of Riscv.
