异动解读 | ARM与高通核心芯片授权纠纷恐升级

异动解读10-23

知名芯片设计商ARM与移动芯片巨头高通之间的芯片授权纠纷正在升温。日前有消息称,ARM计划取消许可高通使用ARM知识产权设计芯片的关键协议,如果最终执行,将对高通造成极大冲击。

根据报道,ARM已经提前60天通知高通,打算取消双方的"架构许可协议"。该协议允许高通按照ARM的架构标准来设计自身芯片。一旦被取消,高通可能不得不停止销售其约390亿美元收入中占很大份额的相关产品,否则将面临高额索赔。

ARM和高通的矛盾缘于2022年高通收购芯片公司Nuvia一事。ARM指控高通违反授权协议,未就此事与ARM重新谈判许可细节。双方由此引发法律诉讼,预计12月在特拉华法院审理。而ARM最新的取消许可通知,被外界视为向高通施加更大压力。

不过,鉴于双方在半导体产业链中影响重大,在供需格局上也存在复杂联系,一旦彻底"分手",双方都将承受极大冲击。因此,双方都希望能在法庭审理之前解决分歧,但分歧有继续升级的风险。作为应对,高通近期也在加速推进自研架构芯片的进程,以减少对ARM的依赖。
