Apple Drops Lawsuit Against Former Chip Architect and Co-Founder of Nuvia.

Apple has dropped its lawsuit against former chief chip architect Gerard Williams, who co-founded Arm-compatible chipmaker Nuvia. Williams was accused of breaching his contract by plotting to form Nuvia and poach his Apple colleagues to his startup while still working at Apple. Apple's lawyers filed a request for dismissal, but the reasons remain unclear. Nuvia initially focused on the datacenter and server space, but Qualcomm acquired it in 2021 and plans to integrate its Arm-based core designs into SoCs for everything from notebooks to servers.

Apple drops lawsuit against former chip exec who founded Nuvia.

Apple has dropped its lawsuit against former executive Gerard Williams III, who left the company to start his own chip startup Nuvia. Apple had accused Williams of poaching colleagues for Nuvia while he was still under Apple's employ. Williams countersued Apple, claiming the company was hiring his staff and blocking people from leaving. The reason for Apple's sudden withdrawal from the case is unclear, but it may have been due to a private settlement of terms. Nuvia was acquired by Qualcomm in 2021.
