    I can see where this came from. ARM and RISC-V are both reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architechtures but are not the same. Arm is a proprietary ISA originally from Acorn. Risc-v is a new ISA developed completely open-source

    EDIT: also, not to be killjoy, but for clarity “research arm” means apendage or division and is completely unrelated

      I disagree. The simplest and best reading is they have an ARM CPU for research, and the CPU produced the RISC-V design.

        Maybe we’re reading something different, or this is tongue and cheek but "Alibaba’s research arm, the Damo Academy, " sounds like research arm is a synonym for “research division” or “research department”.

                No, I was hoping it’d be confirmed when I mentiomed it could be tongue in cheek. Doesn’t always come across in a thread where some are unironically making the same point.

                  I was trying to criticize the original poster by using increasingly ridiculous arguments, when it was obvious they never actually read the article and even misread the post. Something something satire.

                  I guess it didn’t come off obvious enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                    I’m just bad at reading sarcasm sometimes. Probably you were obvious and it went over my head
