My guess. 20-25 billion processors sold so far. We are not involving arm at this point. Yes they get a small royalty per chip, but depend on engineering for a lot of the money. New customers.
We are going after the system chip markets. It would be very hard to find a company not using arm texas instruments, qualcomm, motorola. anybody. Don't take my word look them up. We would be asking for more involvement of a chip. not just the core and not after arm. later. after all are done we go after arm. It is easy to confuse, but my view is to look at the systems and the bigger money. Yes 200 million was my guess from arm. They do not make much off of a .75-1.00 core. But on the other hand a 15.00 soc from qualcomm is much bigger money. Now do the math. 15.. is just a number probably on the low side.
