There are many ways to authorize ARm, and the architecture is the basic architecture of the design, not including the specific implementation. Huawei also bought the permanent right to use an old version of arm instruction set, which means that if you can design a CPU yourself, you don't have to buy any designs and services of ARM. Or you can have the right to design and produce a CPU that can run arm instruction software.

AMD is promoting its chips based on ARM technology, and announced that it will launch a brand-new "Seattle" ARM processor in the second half of 20 14.
AMD is not the first manufacturer dedicated to producing ARM-based processors. In April, Applied Microcircuit Company launched its own 64-bit ARM chip. The name "SOC" on the chip almost describes what these devices are: the hardware of the whole server is packaged into a small chip. Only read-only memory, hard disk drive or solid-state storage does not exist.
There are quite a few "traditional" computing devices, such as notebook computers, desktop computers, servers, Intel and AMD. Intel x86 architecture PC has existed for more than 30 years, and the only competitor is AMD.
Intel and AMD processors, they have many same functions and architectures, and have a lot in common. First of all, they are very powerful, because they have existed for such a long time, and a large number of operating systems run by the machine depend on these chips, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
The core architecture developed by ARM authorizes any hardware manufacturer to design and produce its own processor. Due to the design of ARM processors, the power is very small, which makes them very suitable for personal electronic devices.
