Everyone knows about ARM chips and some people even know the "A" secretly stands for "Acorn" who created the Atom and BBC Micro.

Less well known is the ARC chip where the "A" stands for Argonaut, the game company I once worked for. The ARC was developed by building on expertise that came from designing the SuperFX chip. ARC is everywhere - but in embedded systems so it's not a household name.

Anyway, I mention this as I just learnt that ARC now has the same home as MIPS: https://www.eetimes.com/globalfoundries-mips-to-buy-arc-ip-business-from-synopsys/
