They’re in the same business as ARM. They’re not about to license and re-sell Mali.

(or if Apple requests they do).

As I understand it, ARM is a fabless designer of low power (consumption) processors. Why should they object to licensing the technology?

But this makes for interesting reading:

Looking at them on paper not even sure which one will be better.
