I am part of NCC, everyone here is harping about Nuvia and let me clear few things. Original Nuvia team is/was great. Lot of them went back to Apple. I am part of this and moved on back to Apple with one level higher title/ICT5. We hired laid off people from Samsung and they hired their lackies and they are atrocious. They work with PPT and backstab anyone and everyone they can get their hands on. No technical chops but always looking to cut someone else’s sail. Look at this years’ promotions, they promoted within themselves only. Even original Nuvia team is discriminated against. If you are doing iOS, you will always be outsider and waiting for meaningful work. You will be given work outside core even though you are clearly better than Samsung lackies in technical knowledge and soft skills. My 2 cents. Adios !! Old TC:400 New TC:500 #semiconductor #hardware
Completely agree with OP!
I second this, I came out of this group and most of original folks left. Guys hired from outside are running it like a personal LLC. If you are outside the favored group, information flow is severely limited. You should either be from the a particular company or should have kissed ass in the past of directors.
So basically you were/are one of those great people? :)
I thought ARM had acquired some of Samsungs team too, although even what you have said it would have been an improvement to ARMs team at the time.
It was significant step down for us while I was there. Only few top dogs are worth any money, implementation team is decimated and people moved back to Apple. Implementation is lackluster at best, shaving off CPU boost from architecture success.
